# 2.1 Gameplay

In [Parallel TCG](https://docs.echelon.io/echelon-prime-foundation/1.0-echelon-ecosystem/1.1-parallel-tcg), players can earn PRIME by winning ranked games. The following determines PRIME earnings per win.

1. Ladder Rank. Your skill-based matchmaking rating.
2. 'Keyframing' Multiplier. Some [Keys](https://docs.echelon.io/echelon-prime-foundation/6.0-parallel-tcg-assets/keys) affect PRIME earnings.
3. Avatar ownership. Hold a Parallel Avatar in a linked wallet for increased earnings.
4. Number of NFTs in deck. More NFT cards = more PRIME.
5. Win streak. Higher win streak = more PRIME.

There is a cap on PRIME emissions per day - set at 5 wins. [The Core](https://docs.echelon.io/echelon-prime-foundation/6.0-parallel-tcg-assets/the-core) grants one additional PRIME win per day.
