2022 may have been a bumpy year so far in web3, but blockchain gaming has held its own in challenging conditions. Upland is one of the most popular and successful play-to-earn games. And it\u2019s helped gaming maintain its position in the past few turbulent months.<\/p>\n

Upland sits at number five among a strong list of contenders in DappRadar\u2019s blockchain games rankings. Above it are some of the sector\u2019s heavy hitters, like Splinterlands and Axie Infinity.<\/p>\n

Before finding out how to play Upland and some of the best tactics for it, we need to first find out what the game is.<\/p>\n

What is Upland?<\/h2>\n

Upland is a virtual world that makes up part of the burgeoning metaverse. Players can construct, buy and flip digital real estate in simulated lands designed to mirror real cities.<\/p>\n

Aside from being virtual realtors, Upland players can collect in-game items as NFTs, own and race cars, attend music concerts and start their own businesses.<\/p>\n

What is Upland?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Upland blurs the line between a computer game and something that resembles a genuinely alternative space in which to work and socialize. Everything in Upland starts with property, but the platform is much more than a blockchain-based gamified version of Monopoly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the metaverse continues to grow across the internet, Upland\u2019s creators plan to incorporate updates and more elements of web3 technology. From the outside, it seems the possibilities of what players can do in the game will continue to expand.<\/p>\n

How does the game work?<\/h2>\n

As we\u2019ve seen, the foundation of the game is digital real estate. Buying and selling virtual property, for profit, is the ultimate goal. But players can do much more than this.<\/p>\n

As in the real world, what players do with their properties is up to them. Some people choose to start businesses. These can be in-game businesses where players set up shop as exterior or interior designers. Other users have set up block explorer shops where players can trade in-game items.<\/p>\n

Some players have also put their properties to use as virtual galleries, to exhibit their digital or real artworks. Players can then pay for these works of art, using cryptocurrency or fiat cash.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the option for people to turn their virtual Upland property into the headquarters of their real-life business. They can give clients an Upland address and then greet them and discuss business at that location. As the metaverse grows into the future, expect more real-life companies to adopt this model.<\/p>\n
