RE: Game of games - Nth Society
Thanks, this is a good summary of perhaps the most important main idea of the post.
In reverse order:
3 - I'm not sure what you mean, can you rephrase that?
2 - This is a key point and something I'm not sure about. I would say that we could be skeptical and use a "wait and see" approach, trusting players to begin with and learn from there. But it's a concern I also share. I suppose this is where the rules come in and I'm not sure which ones are needed. On a per game basis they will be different so maybe it's all just down to experimentation.
1 - My suspicion is that it is not practical to play entirely on the blockchain, but I think I will try it anyway. It will only suit certain games but again in the interest of experimentation why not just see how it goes?
3 It might even be possible that an outcome of the tabletop is the building of a more advanced game. Intentional from the beginning of the game, or not.
2 I agree. It will take some experimentation. Call it the first game in a series of game building games.
1 Timeliness of interactions is the hurdle that comes to mind, but then again has that really ever stopped anyone in the past from playing tabletop games? It's probably not a great concern in that sense.
