Who wants a piece of ancient GOB history!?
For #FursuitFriday, we have to post about the day our project founder @mark_tttt got his head stuck in the giant Goon costume while promoting Goon Wars at GITEX in Dubai.
Look at that face 🤣
Bro thought it was all over 💀
Credit to @LSDrapperGOON for putting it on a card in one of our meme contests 🔥.
When we minted our Goon avatars in Aug '21, we promised our community we'd build a fun web3 game.
That measly bear market that ensued shortly after was not going to be enough to break our credibility.
A promise means through thick or thin.
2+ years in this space is a lifetime. It would be impossible to try and sum up the blood, sweat, tears in just a few milestones. But, let's cover some anyway.
The first Goon Wars battle ever recorded was on June 3rd 2022 at 16:37:59 - Our game was officially alive!!
Since then:
> 50 seasons have been played.
> 100,000 games have been battled.
> 5,000 unique prize winners were paid.
> 8000 custom decks have been created
> 8,000 unique accounts were registered.
> 20,000 unique NFTs were given as prizes.
Many in our community often say, "this is just the beginning".
Not only do we agree, we promise they're right.
We are teaming up with Beam to run a week-long campaign where users quest for cash + nft prizes!
Those prizes include:
- $GOB tokens
- Regular copies of the NFT "Beam" card
- Shiny copies of the NFT "Beam" card
All you have to do is complete the simple quests in the Beam Gamers post below to secure yours while prizes last!
Now, to unveil this mystery card...
Introducing "Beam Me Up!", a fully playable and tradeable NFT card on Sphere marketplace.

In memory of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama's passing, we have to drop our DBZ inspired artwork.
He created something everlasting when meme-filled cards like ours inevitably must include references to his awesome IP.
Even Goku and Vegeta have trouble with the ka-me-ha-me-hot wing challenge in Balatroon!
Rest in power, legend.
Community member highlight - @ozwaldiam.
One of our mods and the most loyal of supporters, Oz is a great guy first and foremost. He has an attention to detail that many miss, and you would think he never sleeps
Oz joined our mod squad some months ago and he's helped with the cleanup of our socials and website. He's given countless ideas toward the betterment of our project, and he's even learned to edit short videos from scratch like a boss!
You've probably seen him all across X, spreading the Goonish word while networking to learn about your own favorite projects - that's just the standup guy he is.
Today, we tip our hats to Oz.
It wouldn't be the same without you sir🫡
*Fun fact - Oz owns the rarest Goon in the GOB collection, Lava Chad, and he doesn't even rock it as his pfp!
Happy 50th Anniversary to our Goon Wars Leaderboard!
Our leaderboard has evolved constantly since inception, and we're not done innovating.
We've had over 5,000+ unique winners.
We've given away 20,000+ unique NFTs in prizes!
We've seen the rise of 2 strong guilds - Jungle and Yakuza...Now, there's stirrings of another building in Balatroon!
Congratulations to the top grinders. We've monitored your hard work, your progress, and your skill level increases.
Today we look back on all of this, but also look forward to the next stages.
We'll be adding a random deck leaderboard where more users will have access to our entire pool of cards, top prizes, and the skill-gap won't be a mitigator for new users.
See you all on the battlefield ⚔️
GM + Happy Super Bowl Sunday, Goons!
We hope you have a great day with friends/family. If you celebrate the Super Bowl, may you do so in a Goonish, yet safe manner!
BTW, does that schedule show another new Goon Wars update incoming this week!?
Guess we better see you on the battlefield for this EXCITING week to come ⚔️
GOB has always had the potential to boom.
With the help of this majestic community,
our fuse has been lit. The countdown to
imminent project explosion has begun..
Keep fading if you want, but we're adding
more gas, and bringing everyone who
supported to watch the show. 💣 🔥
Goons going full BEAST MODE right now!
- Signing partnerships with industry giants.
- Game upgrades using new and advanced tech.
- Firing our STO that disrupts web3 rev distribution.
Don't. Fade. Goons.
GM ☀️
Two years of building, learning, and growing have led us to this pivotal moment.
Our vision is clearer than ever, and we're ready to make it happen.
Will you help us make a tidal wave for #Web3Gaming?
It isn't easy to build during the bear market.
Many projects have closed up shop.
@GoonsNft has kept pushing, the ecosystem being built is deep.
Here's whats cooking in the fires of Balatroon- a 🧵 down below! 👇
🤝 A GOON follow GOON thread! 🤝
We’re about to BURST out of Balatroon and get GOONISH in the mobile gaming space; and no Goon should fight unfollowed ⛔️
Got Goons? Land or GOB Cards? Still hodling bags of $CHUNKS or $GOB?
