The Hamster Kombat developers on Telegram announced a fresh batch of bonus cards, set to be available from August 20 to 21, according to Sports Express. The rollout is designed around a new card combination that players must activate by acquiring or upgrading three specific cards: License Nigeria, Hamster YouTube Channel, and Oracle. These cards are drawn from the Legal, Custom, and Web3 sections, respectively, and their joint use unlocks a limited-time reward window. The news emphasizes the time-bound nature of the event and the strategic choices players must make to optimize their chances. (Sports Express)
To engage the sequence, players should secure all three cards mentioned. The objective is to complete the combination during the event window, after which participants will receive a one-time bounty of 5 million in-game HMSTR tokens. The organizers hint that the next set of cards will become purchasable again at 15:00 Moscow time within the following day, inviting players to monitor the market for subsequent opportunities.

Hamster Kombat is a viral Telegram-based clicker where players accumulate points by repeatedly tapping a hamster, decoding puzzles, and gathering opened cards. The developers have suggested that, once the game reaches a listing on a crypto exchange, players will be able to exchange points for cryptocurrency. This prospect has drawn commentary from notable voices in the space. Vladimir Smerkis, who formerly led Binance CIS, has cautioned about the practicalities of token distribution given the large user base. Blockchain analyst Oleg Lupikov also advises balancing expectations about potential profits with the understanding that big gains are not guaranteed. (Sports Express)
In addition to Hamster Kombat, the Telegram-based crypto game arena features several similar titles such as Blum, Catizen, Lost Dogs: The Way, TapSwap, and X Empire, among others. These projects share common mechanics that mix gaming elements with blockchain incentives, drawing players who enjoy quick sessions and collectible dynamics while exposing them to the ecosystem risks typical of crypto ventures.

Earlier reports noted tensions among the Hamster Kombat creators that raised questions about the project’s path to exchange listing. Disagreements at the development level were cited as a factor in the uncertain timeline for exchange access, highlighting how internal dynamics can influence user experience and liquidity prospects. Such developments serve as a reminder that participation in crypto-gaming communities often involves navigating evolving strategic directions and policy changes. (Sports Express)
