Sorare is a global fantasy football game where you can play with officially licensed digital cards and earn prizes every week.
They are backed by a world-class team of investors, supported by gaming giant Ubisoft and already trusted by 100+ football clubs, with many more coming every month.
A Sorare Card is a digital NFT collectable that represents a football player and is tied to a specific football season. Players can build their fantasy football team and trade their cards to develop their team and benefit from the rewards.
For the 2020-21 season, three levels of scarcity exist for each Sorare Card: Unique, Super Rare (10 copies) and Rare (100 copies).
The rarer the player card, the more bonus it will have in the game. The cards can gain XP over time and become more powerful.
What are the cards valued at?
Unique cards are the most valuable cards in the fantasy football game. There is a maximum of one unique card per player per season.
The cards can be traded on an NFT marketplace, with Opensea currently the most popular by volume.
While rare cards sell for a couple of dollars up to a couple of hundred dollars and super rares cost a couple of hundred dollars all the way up to a couple of thousand dollars.
The unique cards always go for a couple of thousand and recently a unique card of football superstar Kylian Mbappé sold for a record amount of 116.15 ETH or $64.744.
