# Wagering

Players wager their ORBs (full or partial tokens) in duels using Orb NFTs in a best-of-5 match-up. At the start of each game, the player selects an ORB to enter match-making. Chosen ORB and its traits are visible to the opponent during gameplay.

At the start of each round, both players anonymously choose an element (within the allotted time). The round outcome is decided based on the elemental trait hierarchy (or score in the event of a tie). The winner is declared once a player wins 3 rounds (for 5 total rounds).

Every battle is a blend of predicting your opponent's choices and making moves based on your ORB's elemental intensity score, adding a layer of depth to the game's tactical decision-making.\

You can then start a duel by wagering any of the following tokens: $ETH, $ORB (more to be added). There are fixed token stakes for easy matchmaking. You can also set up a private match and invite fellow wizards to battle.

Whether you’re betting a fragment or a full token, every battle is a chance to acquire more $ORB.
