Poker is a century-old game. Here’s why I’m bullish on Duper as a Poker challenger: Poker originated in the 18th century. Despite the fun, its spread was slow, decentralized, and in various different forms. This only changed in the 70s when Poker tournaments entered Vegas with

The flagship game we're building at @0xcurio will be ready for playtest by mid-March. It's a social diplomacy strategy game with elements from Poker and board games. Can't say how good it is objectively (until y'all play), but the team has had the urge to stop working altogether

"Onchain games today is like DeFi in 2019" is helpful but only scratching the surface imo. Tokens need speculators; games need real players. DeFi projects can succeed wildly with a succinct mechanism; in the long term, games succeed with exceptional holistic experience.

One variety of game I want to see in onchain gaming is the 'single-screen game.' At any moment the entire game can be grokked from a single screenshot . This is good because 1. It's inherently viral 2. It forces simplicity of design 3. It minimizes wasted experiences
