All blockchain games are instances of DApps, or decentralized apps (though not all dapps are games!). As decentralized gaming apps, blockchain games are open source, decentralized and distributed.

Many blockchain games feature NFTs or some in-game ERC-20 currency – sometimes both. All blockchain games include at some point payments with the cryptocurrency that is native to their host blockchain, the most popular being ETH.

Most blockchain games iterate over certain schemes. You might have heard of the most popular ones: apps for collecting and breeding characters, apps that add battles and item crafting to the collectibles scheme, idle games in which you sit back and watch your character progress through levels, and good old-fashioned gambling games. Explore this FAQ to learn more about how blockchain games work. And explore the rest of the website to learn about the games themselves!

Have you ever played blockchain games? What do you think about them?

For everyone who wants to find blockchain games I've created collection on product hunt https://www.producthunt.com/@house_lama/collections/blockchain-games

Ehere is a good blockchain shooter War Field. it’s 100% not scam so I can send it here. you can read details about this game here (I don’t send direct link to their website not to make them advertisement) https://gameunculus.io/blog/96

To be honest, i only know eth.town that probably legit. Most of them are ponzi/hyip scheme which i got scammed in the past. So, i don't think thats a good game except if someday something like mmorpg that based on blockchain, thats will be good.

can you give names of this games? we should make a black list. same as with ICOs

Its old site and probably is not active anymore, i remember its something like Egg and something like farming thing which give you passive income from nowhere.

Probably.

It is a way to earn, actually. But for now I trust such games more, actually. Like at least people play it now and can say if it's scam or not. ICO's are different. You can never know if another ICO is scam

When it was? Maybe something changed now

im just surprised no one has taken the dragon tales bitcoin game
http://www.dragons.tl/
of year ago and re-innovated it to be more like second life where you can buy real goods from within the game

I've heard about blockchain games before and I know it's popular but I never tried one

Hmmm... Haven't tried any of it, but I'll definitely try it out, can anyone give me games that you guys are much addicted to? I think that this will be great, and that this is also another way of getting attention, reaching this platform means you'll also reach gamers and that wherein gamers are much more adept at understanding cryptocurrency, just like me I would definitely try out a blockchain game.

Blockchain games are not necessarily to be ERC-20 tokens running on Ethereum blockchain. It can be any on chain game running on any blockchain.

Yes. Check my signature. Its a highly transparent one.

true. 721 also

true. there are some gamblings working with blockchain. but we are talking about video games

Well, cryptokitties is a very famous one and I don't think it's a scam. At the same time, I don't think that blockchain games should necessarily be monetized. No monetization would mean no scam and it would also mean application of blockchain is more creative ways. Potentially, blockchain could store many kinds of data and thus could be used in any games where there is a sort of irreversible interaction between users or between a user and some object. Blockchain could help gamers actually access real history of things and people they get acquainted with. I really like how the guy in this video explains this matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywvTIM_eOVI&t.

Gods Unchained (https://godsunchained.com/) is another example of such a game. This is a turn-based competitive trading card game. Each match is a 1v1 battle against another player. The goal of the game is to reduce your opponent's life. You can play the game for free with a core non-tradable set of cards. Also, you can purchase card packs on the platform itself or buy and sell cards with other players.

And here's a list (https://tokenized.games/) of many different blockchain games. I've seen there card games, RPGs, multiplayer PvP games, post-apocalyptic survival games, real-time fighting games, multiplayer world-building games, mobile strategy games, tamagotchi-like games, MMO real-time economic strategy games, etc. on Ethereum, EOS, TRON.

the game in your signature has a high risk of losing, ChainBet is a gambling game that only relies on luck, you should avoid this kind of game because I have played in this kind and a big defeat that I got

As far as I know - most games on the blockchain are ponzi schemes and they do not carry anything new, but just try to take your money.

Blockchain games or games that make you "earn" cryptocurrency is a straight up joke. Their design/graphics/UI is usually horrible and the gaming feel is bad as well. I do wish that we could have better games, but the fact that we don't is a big bummer.

Actually we don't really need blockchain mainstream gaming, right now the gaming and e-sports world is doing just fine.

When i heard about bitcoin back in 2011/2012 i actually thought it was designed
to be used by gamers. Blockchain and games to me create a natural relationship
Gaming and ill throw gambling in also are big money generators. I love the idea
because it introduces people to crypto.

Blockchain gaming has come a long way from the games I used to play.

The first game launched on Tron about a week ago too I believe, it has to do with wizards or something.

https://oracletimes.com/tron-goes-further-into-the-gaming-industry-bitguild-launches-worlds-first-idle-blockchain-game/

i think it like early facebook.

it less people use but have many game to play in facebook.

maybe Dapp in blockchain is for test system too.

like crypto kitty it use many transaction on ETH. 

I myself have not started playing yet, but I know people who have switched to games and I will tell you, they are happy about it, they earn a good deal of money and games give them pleasure. Now there are a lot of topics about games and I think many will want to play games and make money on it. This is fun, exciting and brings money.

Blockchain games still have little attention among gamers, because when talking about games, I think until now, it's been finished on Playstasion. if Blockchain is in charge of that, it's not a bad thing, but is it ready to compete with those who have good experience in the field of gamers

I like the idea of blockchain games because you can play and earn. It's not just boring investment and serious trading. With blockchain games you can earn playing. Thus I stress less

Yeah. It is much more interesting that just investment

I’ve never played but I’m thinking about to start. I believe this is future of crypto investment.

Yeah, crypto games can be another opportunity to invest. I hope they will be making better and more interesting games.

 I am not very much a game person.  The last time I played was 2015 on my laptop - Zuma.
Games on Blockchain sounds interesting though. I see lots of pretty active ones on Ethereum & EOS and wonder how the developers monetize/sustain them.

I would likely play blockchain based Virtual games (with good graphics) if I find one. I think collecting coins(Bitcoins) on the way, placing bet on competitions and selling stuff on virtual roadside could be one of the best areas to make money on Virtual games.

I've heard that there are some game projects that are developed on the blockchain. But now I know that there is no game that become fully operational.

This can attract a new audience to cryptocurrency. Blockchain is multifaceted.

you are right, may be I should create such thread!

For everyone who wants to find blockchain games I've created collection on product hunt https://www.producthunt.com/@house_lama/collections/blockchain-games

Thank you for the list. I’ve found a couple of good games!

you are welcome  :D

Never played them since I am not much of a gamer but I have always thought that they were going to be pretty good and just the fact that blockchain games would mean that people would have to do purchases with cryptos is what got me behind them. Thanks for providing the compiled list of games, I will make sure to check them out.

Now this direction is one of the most popular, I mean that over the past six months have begun to conduct more and more ICO, which are related to the blockchain for games. It's too much hype, but I don't see anything really worth it yet.

glad it's useful for you!

I would disagree. There is not so much hype around blockchain games. I believe people know nothing about it

I think it's pretty cool. Now everything goes to a new level and blockchain helps a lot in this.  I think that the creation and implementation of such games will be one of the big steps to ensure that we pay with cryptocurrency

I like your optimism!

I think that games on the blockchain is quite good and I would love to play such a game. It seems to me that it will be as safe as possible and in such a game there will be no fear to invest financially. Money sure no one will steal

Also, you have have a very good time playing blockchain games
