Steem Monsters is a digital trading card "MMORPG" game on the Steem blockchain. The game was created by Aggroed (@aggroed) and Yabapmatt (@yabapmatt), two Steem witnesses, announced as a a collectible trading card game with RPG elements in May 26th, 2018[1]. The game is currently the Alpha version and in open development.

Accordingly steemian KingsCrown (@kingscrown), currently the game is in pre-sale mode so you can buy packages with cards and collect all of them. In future you will be fighting other users using them and upgrade the cards to get better powers. After turnaments start the players will be able to win in the game Upvotes, Cards, STEEM, SBD and who knows what else. Loads of people are now buying the cards and looking for Legendaries and Epics (the best ranked cards, see also Steem Monsters Cards and Steem Monsters Glossary. To start playing it is required to buy a pack of 30 cards as a starter in the game and later just buy as you please using SBD or STEEM, each worth 2 USD (not 2 SBD!).[2]

After 10 days running the Alpha version Aggroed revealed they're at around $12k in packs sold. At that time, with 60k active users every day. they have something like 300-500 customer so far.[3] Technically speaking, co-founder Yabapmatt have spent a lot of time thinking about how to create a game like this using Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on the Steem blockchain (even before Steem Monsters was ever conceived!). He explained that Non-Fungible means that each individual token is different and can have its own properties and Cryptokitties are an example of NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain and, as far he know, Steem Monsters are the first and currently only NFTs available on the Steem blockchain.[4]
