Learn Bitcoin through Board Game!

Hi, mate! We’ve been working on this unique Bitcoin board game to help newbies learn Bitcoin by performing real action!

From the begining, we've found just a few board games attaching the word "crypto" into their mechanics, but they looks like party games dressed with just surface crypto-related theme. We haven't found ones really focusing on the sound-money one, Bitcoin, with knowledge for beginners to learn through. So for us, they could be fun games, not educational game.

That's why we start working on this Bitcoin board game! At first, it's a game where you mine, trade, and face world events based on Bitcoin history. I'm curious if anyone else has tried mixing Bitcoin mining, hashing, transferring, or even Proof of Work, with tabletop like this?

Unfortunately, it looks "too educational," and it's useless if no one wants to open their minds to try it. For Bitcoiners, especially in Thailand? They love it, but they also see the same points that "apart from us, Bitcoiners, very few newbies seems to pick this game to play."

Sadly we really agree with that. It's as hard as when you try to convince people without interest in Bitcoin to pick the book "The Bitcoin Standard" to read. That sounds almost impossible, right? So it's not on the game's purpose to help ordinary people without basic knowledge to learn Bitcoin.

The mindset to create this game is changed later. At first, the game tells you "What is Bitcoin?" But after we redesign it all, alsmost like creating a new game. Now the game tells you "Why is Bitcoin?" And that impacts so much! It looks easier for newbies to pick up to play. Not only Bitcoiners but now also Thai board gamers and others spot this game in their radars.We've hosted several events for it, and hundreds of people join to to try it!

What makes us really alive? The feedback, even from the board gamers and people without knowledge about Bitcoin, is almost all positive! That's the game's purpose! It's not only educational but also entertaining! So players think it's fun while being educated about inflation, purchasing power, and the Bitcoin's properties!

I know it's kinda late that we're on Reddit in this final day. But I know we should. Today it's on the very final Kickstarter day. So if you love what we do, please, mates, support us on Kickstarter.
