Celebrity Parody Showdown (CPS)

White Paper

Abstract

Celebrity Parody Showdown (CPS) is an innovative hybrid trading card game (TCG) that combines strategic gameplay, celebrity-inspired humor, and blockchain technology. Utilizing Solana’s scalable and eco-friendly blockchain infrastructure, CPS introduces compressed NFTs to provide a low-cost, accessible entry point for players and collectors. The initial collection includes over 1.3 million NFTs distributed across three rarities, offering players randomized booster packs for physical and digital play. CPS blends physical proxies, digital gameplay, and a player-driven economy, creating a sustainable ecosystem for casual and competitive gamers alike.

Introduction

The Vision

CPS revolutionizes the TCG experience by merging physical card play with blockchain technology. The game’s celebrity parody theme, combined with its action-response mechanics, sets it apart from traditional card games. CPS allows players to acquire cards in three primary ways:

  1. Minting Compressed NFTs: Players can purchase randomized NFT packs containing commons, rares, and ultra-rarity cards.
  2. Earning NFTs Through Gameplay: The CPS digital card game rewards players with NFTs for achievements and victories.
  3. Printing Physical Proxies: Players can print tournament-legal proxies from their owned NFTs using a low-cost subscription model.

CPS prioritizes accessibility, sustainability, and community-driven growth, fostering a vibrant economy and competitive scene.

Gameplay Overview

Hybrid Mechanics

CPS bridges physical and digital gameplay, ensuring players can participate however they prefer. Players own NFT cards that correspond to both physical proxies and digital assets, ensuring fairness and transparency.

Game Features

  1. Action-Response Gameplay: Players alternate actions and responses, creating a fast-paced, strategic experience.
  2. Influencers & Player Cards: Decks consist of parody celebrity “Influencer” cards and strategic “Player” cards, blending humor and tactics.
  3. Victory Conditions: Players aim to collect 10 Body Counts by cancelling opposing Influencers, using strategy and timing to outwit their opponents.

Deck Building

  • Media Tyrant Cards: Define allowable Domains for deck construction.
  • 10 Influencer Cards: Form the backbone of gameplay.
  • 40 Player Cards: Enhance attacks, defenses, and responses.

Technology Infrastructure

Blockchain Integration

CPS uses Solana’s compressed NFT technology, a scalable solution ideal for large-scale NFT collections. Compressed NFTs significantly reduce minting and transaction costs, making CPS accessible to a broad audience.

Key Blockchain Features

  1. Compressed NFTs: Efficient storage of large collections, enabling cost-effective minting of the 1.3 million initial cards.
  2. Smart Contracts: Automated governance of card ownership, randomized pack distribution, and marketplace transactions.
  3. Marketplace: A decentralized platform for buying, selling, and trading CPS NFTs.
  4. We will create multiple wallets to house the different rarity of cards. Then use a smart contract to create the packs from those wallets, simplifying the pack creation, and increasing transparency.

Eco-Friendly Approach

By leveraging Solana’s eco-friendly proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, CPS minimizes its environmental footprint. The use of compressed NFTs further reduces energy consumption and costs compared to traditional NFT systems.
