Getting Started
Welcome to the official CryptoKitties Guide, your one-stop-shop for all things CryptoKitties! Here you’ll find the basics on how to play the game as well as advanced tips and tricks to become a skilled breeder. There’s lots to consider when playing CryptoKitties, here are the basics so you can get started right away.
Buying
Look around on the marketplace to find yourself some Kitties. If you’ve found a Kitty you’d like to buy, click on the cat and hit the “Buy now” button upon which you will be prompted by your browser wallet provider (e.g. metamask) plugin transaction window. It may take a couple minutes to show up on your profile. This all depends on the Ethereum network.
Breeding
There are two ways to breed a new Kitty: breed two of your own Kitties together, or breed with a public sire. If you want to breed two of your own Kitties together, go to your litter and click on a Kitty you want to make the father (the Sire) in your breeding. This cat will show a “Breed” button. Click on that, then click on “Sire with my Kitties”. After that, you get to choose the Dame (or, the mother) for your breeding. Once you’ve selected a breeding pair, hit “OK, give them some privacy” to open a transaction window and let those Kitties make some magic.
Offers
Offers are another way to buy cats. Using the game’s Offers system, players can make a bid in ETH for any Kitty in the game, even if they’re not currently up for sale. Once an offer is made, the owner can choose to accept or decline it. Offers expire after three days. Read more about Offers here
Selling or Siring
Once you’ve got your paws on some CryptoKitties, you can put them up for sale or Sire them to the public. If you go to your litter and click on one of your Kitties, you’ll see the buttons “Sell” and “Breed”. Both of these buttons lead you to a page where you can create an auction. “Breed” lets you create a Siring auction, which means other players can breed with your Kitty through the Siring market. “Sell” creates a sale auction. Other players can find your sale auction on the marketplace. You get to pick the starting price, the ending price, and the duration of the auction.
