About the WSOA

Welcome to the World Series of Abstract (WSOA).

The WSOA is an eight-week series of poker tournaments and prize pools in partnership with Abstract Chain — all culminating in one epic Main Event. Tournaments will run weekly from Wednesday through Friday.

WSOA Access

To participate in the WSOA, you will need Game Cards to burn on sugar.town.

Sugartown Holders

How to Get Game Cards

Oras and CORES holders receive automatic, recurring airdrops of Game Cards every Monday during the WSOA. Quantity of cards drop is determined by an algorithmic combination of what assets you own and how you're using your cards — we recommend burning.

If you miss a drop or would like to mint additional cards, Game Cards are available to mint for a cost on sugar.town.

Partnered Communities

How to Get Game Cards
