In the event you at all times hit a brick wall when explaining Bitcoin to family and friends then you could be in luck. A Twitter consumer identified solely as ‘Pedro’ is creating a Bitcoin-based board recreation known as ‘Hodler of Final Resort‘.

While the sport continues to be in improvement, the draft recreation board already exists and the mechanic is outlined. Every flip represents 52,500 blocks and there’s a block reward of 50BTC per block, halving each 4 turns.
Just one participant strikes their counter across the board throughout a flip, however all gamers mine for Bitcoin utilizing numerous quantities of colored cube. Clearly having extra hash-power (cube) provides a participant a higher probability of mining the block and profitable the reward, by rolling the bottom quantity on a single die.
A participant can land on squares triggering occasions resembling buying and selling, community or alternate assaults, or bettering their Bitcoin habits. There may even be playing cards for mining, safety, data and buying and selling.
The objective is to finish the sport with all of the accessible bitcoin.
Admittedly, the 2 issues couldn’t appear to be extra at odds; a digital digital foreign money in a bodily board recreation? Do you personal in-game bodily bitcoin, à la Monopoly cash?
Properly, no. That wouldn’t work very effectively, as its very troublesome to divide a paper bitcoin into satoshis… amongst different causes.
As a substitute the sport requires a spreadsheet to take care of the accounting. From the appears of issues, this has been programmed to be as easy-to-use as potential, merely getting into particulars of every flip’s mining block reward winner, and the sq. landed on by the participant and penalties.
However this may increasingly nonetheless make it rather less interesting to board-game purists. In any case, you don’t actually wish to have a laptop computer or pill handy while you’re enjoying board video games.
Nonetheless, right here at Bitcoinist we’re all for spreading the nice phrase of Bitcoin far and broad, so applaud Pedro and need him luck in his efforts.
