QUICK START
Lords of the Snails is a hot potato game played in rounds.
Get enough Eggs to earn the prize.
Once you reach the requirement, you win and all your Eggs are consumed.
WHILE THE ROUND IS ACTIVE
1) Grab a Snail to earn his Eggs.
- Grabbing a Snail raises his level. Higher level Snail = higher ETH cost and higher Egg production.
- Hibernation: the longer the game goes without anyone Grabbing any Snail, the bigger Egg bonus
- Any given Snail can only be owned by one player, but you can own several different Snails at once.
2) While you own a Snail, Snag his Eggs at your convenience.
- Snagging comes with a small ETH cost, and doesn't give you the Hibernate bonus.
- You can Grab your own Snail if you want the Hibernate bonus.
- If someone else Grabs your Snail, you gain no Eggs, but you get the ETH you spent back!
ONCE ANY PLAYER REACHES THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF EGGS, THE ROUND IS OVER
The game goes on downtime, during which players can claim Lords.
Owning a Lord allows you to own the corresponding Snail at the beginning of a round.
You can then Snag immediately... Or get "free" ETH, if someone else Grabs your Snail!
Additionally, Lords get paid tribute ETH whenever any action occurs on their Snail.
Only one player can be a specific Lord, but you can be several Lords at once.
The ETH cost of a given Lord increases each time a new player claims it.
On a claim, the previous Lord receives the ETH he spent, plus a small bonus.
Claiming a Lord also gives you a bonus amount of Eggs.
This bonus rises while nobody claims a Lord.
It's possible to earn enough Eggs to win this way, but you'll have to wait for the next round to start and then Snag or Grab.
ONE DAY LATER, A NEW ROUND BEGINS
After 24 hours, any player can start the new round.
Players who didn't win keep their accumulated Eggs.
However, the number of Eggs required to win increases.
Snail level, cost, Eggs and Egg production are reset to their base level.
Each Lord receives their Snail.
The game runs forever, as long as players choose to start it!
SNAILTHRONE
Lords of the Snails is part of the SnailThrone ecosystem.
Part of the ETH used in Lords of the Snails goes to the SnailThrone pot.
Any player can send this pot at no cost to the SnailThrone contract.
SnailThrone players receive their share of the ETH in the form of dividends.

GAME MECHANICS
ROUNDS
At the beginning of each round, the winning prize is set at 10% of the SnailPot.
The amount of Eggs required to win is set at 1 000 000 * Round.
On Round 8 with a SnailPot of 3 ETH, you'd need 8 000 000 Eggs to win, and your prize would be 0.3 ETH.
Rounds last until a player wins, then the 24 hours downtime period starts.
SNAILS
Each Snail starts at LVL 1 on a new round.
Snails produce 1 Egg per second per level.
A LVL 3 Snail would produce 180 Eggs in a minute.
The cost of Grabbing a Snail is set at 0.01 ETH * (LVL + 1).
To Grab a LVL 3 Snail, you need 0.01 * (3 + 1) = 0.04 ETH.
All but 0.01 of that ETH is sent to the previous owner.
Snagging Eggs has a fixed cost of 0.002 ETH.
A Snag gives you the Snail's Eggs, without a bonus.
The Grab bonus is global, and rises by 1% every minute.
After one hour, a Snail with 1000 Eggs would pay out 1600 Eggs on a Grab.
Snails can only be Grabbed or Snagged while the round is active.
LORDS
Lords start at a fixed cost of 0.1 ETH.
This cost rises by 0.05 ETH with each claim.
All but 0.04 of the ETH goes to the previous owner.
Lord Tribute is given whenever a Grab, Snag or Claim action occurs on your Snail or Lord.
Tribute amounts to 10% of the bonus ETH of these transactions.
The Lord Egg bonus for Lords is similar to the Grab bonus.
As Lords don't produce Eggs directly, so this bonus is a flat rate.
The bonus is set at 8 Eggs per second per round.
On Round 8, after 4 hours without any claim, becoming the Lord would yield:
(8 * 60 * 60 * 4 * 8) = 921 600 Eggs
The bonus timer is reset on a round win, and downtime can never exceed 24 hours.
ETHER SPLIT
Most of the ETH of Grab and Snag goes into repaying the previous owner.
The remainder, as well as the 0.002 ETH fee of Snag, is split as such:
- 80% SnailPot
- 10% ThronePot
- 10% Tribute to the Lord of the Snail
CAN'T START ROUND!
The round can only be started during downtime, after the timer hits 0.
Check the top of the page before trying to start a round.
Got it!
CAN'T SNAG!
You must own this Snail in order to Snag his Eggs.
Grab the Snail first, then you'll be able to Snag.
Got it!
