  "summary": "Noun Battler is a five-round CC0 character stat game with 48 Pacific battlers, local progression, printable receipts, and an optional Tezos Passport signature path.",
  "body": [
    "Noun Battler — Pacific 48 is live as a five-round browser game built around a roster of 48 CC0 Noun battlers. Each short match asks the player to read the hand, choose a stat, and build a local record rather than enter a financial contest.",
    "Progress stays useful off-chain through a local stamp book and a printable Passport card. The game can hand a result toward PointCast Passport for an optional wallet signature, but the core game does not require a wallet, token, purchase, or mint.",
    "The Pacific 48 format gives PointCast a compact sports-card rhythm without copying the existing ad, publishing, or live-room products. The battlers remain playable as an ordinary web game first."
