Bitcoin is highly addictive. For those who know and love cryptocurrency, sending, receiving and placing is often not enough. They soon crave bitcoin merch, which leads to other bitcoin-based accessories, from stickers to hardware wallets. The final endgame for those hooked on the P2P cryptocurrency is to invest in a Bitcoin-branded board or card game.
Bitcoin board games are still in their infancy
As with bitcoins around 2011, the bitcoin board games are still a bit rough. This is to be expected from a niche chase based on what still remains a niche asset class. One more extended bullish move and higher historical highs will be required before like-minded people are ready to play bitcoin-board games at the dinner table. At the same time, for niche fans who are not ready to wait until Hasbro releases its own crypto-board game, a number of niche games based on bitcoins are available.
Bitcoin Empire
One of the first bitcoin games to gain momentum, Bitcoin Empire is a fast-paced card game where players compete to collect as many bitcoins as possible. Character cards have skills covering law, coding, and marketing, while attack cards are labeled Hack, Lawsuit, or Smear Campaign. The latter, if the game were re-released today, would probably be called "FUD". First featured on news.itBitcoin.com in early 2017, the Bitcoin empire is scarce these days, although determined sleuths should be able to track down a copy on Ebay. Boardgamegeek.com also has a full profile of "the world's first Bitcoin card game".
Bitcoin Empire: To The Moon 2.0
The Bitcoin Empire must have provoked a response in some, since creator David Thomas returned with a sequel. Like its predecessor, To The Moon 2.0 was funded through Kickstarter and is due to be released in February 2018. Described as a “bitcoin card game and plotting moon landings are fake,” the game is based on a character card and skills based on the original model, but adds links to popular culture and news events for added rudeness.
Cryptocurrency: board game
This game attracted $ 15 000 to Kickstarter last year, which is quite impressive for a bear market. With the call, “Deceive your opponents to buy a cryptocurrency fraud while you are trading, earning and spreading rumors about wealth”, “Cryptocurrency: a board game, of course, reflects the spirit of the scene. The game requires 2-4 players to take on the role of the general director of a FINTECH startup company who wants to trade and acquire cryptography. Tasks include hiring experts, resetting Shitkouns and solving crypto “mining algorithms”. For some players, the game will be nice to distract from the real cryptocurrency trade; for others a depressing reminder.
Crypto Millionaire
Crypto Millionaire is another Kickstarter launch scheduled for this month's fundraising. The game looks elementary, even by the modest standards of Bitcoin board games, as the ICO cards may prove too complex for some bag owners.
Cryptocurrency
Crypto is a crypto-based strategy board game that has currently raised over $2000 on Indiegogo. The game “requires you to know absolutely nothing about cryptocurrencies,” which will be reassuring to those participants who have been building up excitement and excitement around this time last year. Rumors, hacks, sales and hard forks are the names of the four play cards, while the various auction methods - Dutch, English, winkray and fixed price - will teach players that there is more than one way to pay. asset chances.
In addition to the games above, there is also an unofficial version of Crypto Monopoly that one redditor modeled in late 2017. As the selected playing spaces and their respective positions on the board show, a lot can happen in the cryptosphere in 12 months. For players unimpressed by the current crop of Bitcoin table games, there is an alternative – create your own and then convince the crypto community to get involved.
