Since launching Hashletes six short weeks ago, we’ve seen an incredible response: 3.5M player cards distributed to users, 33,000 lineups set and played, and $70,000 paid out in prizes. We’re proud of our eclectic user base of church pastors, college kids, fantasy diehards, families, single moms, farmers, grandmothers, and bankers all playing and winning together. We think we’ve hit on a fun new way to enjoy the NFL by combining the nostalgia of collecting trading cards with the thrill of winning cash through skillful competition.

A lot of people are wondering whats next. What we’ve realized from watching our users play and win is that Hashletes is a social game. People want to talk smack, build teams with friends, and win together. Football is a team sport, and as a wise man once said, theres no I in team.

Today we’re announcing Teams With Friends, a new way to play Hashletes with your friends. How it works is pretty simple. In this game mode, you and at least one other friend (and up to three friends) build a team of 14 players and try to hit a points target:

The game rules are simple. With the tokens given to you for signing up (or those bought on your own), you build a team with your friends. Each friend you play with must set at least three players in the team, and you can play with a maximum of three other people. You select multiple players at each position except for Tight End and Kicker, and if you want to, you can select the same player twice. You can choose to enter multiple teams with multiple friends to increase your chances of winning, or just focus on creating one dominant team. If you hit or surpass the points target of 200, you’ll be eligible to win $7,000, but now you’ll be splitting it with the friends you’ve teamed up with. Prizes are announced every Tuesday night, and contests run from Thursday to Monday.

Thats it! Get out there, find some friends to play with, collect some tokens and compete for the big money this week. If you need a refresher on what exactly Hashletes is, check out our Hashletes Beginners Guide.
