What is The Meta Camel Racing Club?
The blockchain based game will allow anyone, anywhere in the world to experience the thrill of racing a camel down Sheikh Zayed Road. The game even offers a free training mode, so racers can practice before competing.
Camel racing is a relatively exclusive (and expensive) sport, but the game is making it accessible for all with an interest, a VR headset and access to Discord.
“Collect, breed, rent Camels. Join guilds to compete together. Buy Hippodromes to host races. Build your own Metaverse Camel empire!” the Meta Camel Racing Club’s website reads.
So… there weren’t any on camels on Sheikh Zayed Road?
The videos circulating online are clearly a work of virtual reality magic.
