# Phase 1 - The Split (COMPLETED)
Gaming On Bitcoin
Objective: Less GOBs - Higher Yield
## Phase 1 is complete and will no longer work
## This information is here, purely for historical reasons for people to see how the game was played
### How to play?
Each character on your inscription is called a GOB
Every inscription starts as a single GOB
Every 144 block cycle this will automatically split
The number of GOBs on your inscription will double
## RISK or WAIT
### 1. RISK - Reinscribe
The only way to stop the **SPLIT** is **RISK**
Reinscribe the text **GOB** to **RISK**
At the end of each cycle all **RISKED** GOBs learn their fate
* Survive and freeze in its current tier - stop splitting (good)
* **DIE**
Every cycle the chance of survival improves
Every cycle the reward decreases
