# Rubians

Rubians are the 720 citizens of the [Ruby Planet](broken://pages/yuAg0Zv2fJTN8f6GsbOj) and the main NFT collection of Zen Republic Season 1. With it, we are gathering creators, innovators and entertainers and, through the Rubian NFT, giving them power to entertain other Solana communities.

Our goal is to leave the stigma of ponzi-games behind, focus on utility NFTs can provide and make web3 fun for everyone!

## What do Rubians do?

In short, Rubians are the managers of the games we design in Season 1. Those being [Foresee The Game](/zen-republic-wiki/web3-games/foresee-the-game.md) and [Swipstars](/zen-republic-wiki/web3-games/swipstars.md). Being an manager means being able to grant access to our games for any Solana NFT community by creating Game Clubs.

The management is not limited to NFT-gating collections to our games. Additionally, game clubs will be able to earn their own tokens through our in-game reward systems, organize tournaments for their communities, connect with other communities through championships and much more!

A: To mint a Rubian, you first need to buy a buy a Mint Voucher through xNFT app: <https://www.xnft.gg/app/GLouEKT5NZ1XR1fAkuTQZdaEG7kwBcWDd79kBnPQCov2> When you acquire a Mint Voucher, you can mint a Rubian within the app or through the mint site!

**Q: Why so expensive?**

Making games is a very expensive and time consuming process... If we raise less money, there's a bigger chance of running out of capital and failing on our vision! If you buy a Rubian, understand it's an investment, not a quick flip.

**Q: What is an xNFT?**

A: It's an extension for a Solana NFT, designed by [Backpack ](https://www.backpack.app/)wallet team. Essentially, it allows to add an executable app on top of an NFT. Rubians will be one of the first collections to have an app!&#x20;
