Thanks for everyone who participated in the poker chips that I did earlier this year, they turned out great!
I was thinking of what else I could do to contribute to the Bitcoin collectible community and thought about a Bitcoin version of the game Risk. Here is what I thought of so far:
Game mechanics cannot be copyrighted, so using the Risk gameplay ideas should not be a problem. We just need to make sure names and graphics are unique, should not be a problem.
https://www.boardgamesmaker.com/ allows for custom boxes, cards and boards, prices vary based upon how many copies.
I was thinking of making the 6 armies being:
Green - US Dollar/banks. Game pieces would be ¢, $ (5 units) and a bank (10 units)
Orange - Satoshi/Bitcoin Games pieces would be Satoshi symbol a Bitcoin symbol and a round Bitcoin for 10 units
Blue - Ethereum Game pieces would be Ethereum logo and ?
Red - BRICS Game pieces might be small gold bars? and a bank 5 units?
I need advice for the 5th and 6th army, as I am not really into any other crypto...lol I am a fan of Elon, so maybe Doge (yellow) might be an option. Maybe XRP (which for the record I totally despise),which would be a great villainous black army!
Countries - I would want the map to be updated to avoid any copyright concerns and would want El Salvador to stick out. I was also thinking of making a "home country" for each as a variation. For example, in Risk if you own the country when you trade in cards, you get 2 bonus armies, I was thinking of making that 4 if you own the country and it is the home country of your particular currency (El Salvador for Bitcoin, Eastern US for dollar/FED, Russia for ETH, China for BRICS, etc.).
Cards - I was thinking the same overall concepts with the cards, except rather then the soldier the horse and cannon, we could have an ASIC, a pick (if we go with gold) and a printer for the money printer go brrr.
I believe Slumberjack is interested in doing some of the artwork.
As for the game pieces, I was thinking we could get MM to 3d print the pieces, I have a 3d printer and will gladly help.
This would be similar to my Bitcoin Poker Chips where I will not make any profit, just looking for assistance with the design of the game. I would like to ensure that Slumberjack gets paid for any artwork contributed (his work is awesome and I think is a necessity.
Think of the glory of winning a game with Bitcoin dominating the world, game theory at it's finest!
Please reply with any interest and or volunteer interest with the design. Thanks!
