So the Saito Arcade (
https://saito.io/arcade) is up to five or six playable, multi-player board games (chess, wordblocks, twilight struggle, thirteen days, scotland yard), all of which run directly in the browser. Sharing as if anyone here is bored in quarantine and unsure of why on-chain gaming is going to crush closed-source companies like Steam really encourage you guys to drop by and see what is happening. Feedback and suggestions on ways to improve are both very, very welcome.
For those who haven't heard of Saito, you'll see it is very different from most of the "gaming" projects in the blockchain space -- there is no shilling of digital assets or convincing people to purchase tokens: people actually mine tokens while playing the games (the network is rewarding fee-paying users on a diminishing curve). The blockchain is primarily a PKI network with cryptographic techniques like "mental poker" used to shuffle cards and ensure that gameplay is provably fair, while all moves are cryptographically-signed and sequentially posted on-chain so that it is impossible to cheat (third-party modules can auto-track player performance and generate provably fair competitive rankings or handle escrow situations).
For those interested in the more traditional blockchain metrics, Saito itself is up to about 15k daily transactions and growing quite rapidly -- looking like we will surpass BCH sometime later this summer. Hope to see some of you guys on the Arcade!
