Blockchain is becoming more popular in many industries and like others, the gaming community has not only begun to develop their own cryptocurrencies, but also blockchain games. They differ in terms of styles and objectives and many of them have userbases which have grown at incredibly fast rates.

Games that include cats are a big hit in every format, and so it shouldn’t be a surprise that since its launch, Cryptokitties has even disrupted the Ethereum blockchain and created delays in the implementation of a few Ethereum based smart contracts. Having so many players has created an immense load on the network due to their activities.

The point of the game is to breed digital cats to produce another generation. This is done through the purchase of Ethereum, which you then use to buy digital cats. In essence, the cats are a smart contract, and each of them has its own unique set of characteristic. The value of a digital cat species depends on the market factors of supply and demand. The value of some cats has written to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in Ether. The game was created by Axiom Zen, a Canadian tech company with a mission of involving more people in the blockchain community.

Both the Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains support games. One that is Bitcoin-supported is Spells of Genesis which blends elements of an arcade and a trading card game. It was developed by EverdreamSoft, which is based in Switzerland. It has been hailed as being the first trading card game that has been built to run on the Bitcoin blockchain. Players collect and trade cards using the in-game cryptocurrency Bitcrystals (BCY) and can use many of the features found in traditional strategy card games including the ability to combine cards to form powerful variants, maps and cards that have particular attributes.

Although collecting trading cards of athletes and posters of celebrities isn’t as commonplace as it used to be, there is a way to do so using blockchain. That is through the game CryptoCelebrities, which like many others, runs on the Ethereum blockchain. Less than 24 hours after its launch, more than $1 million in ether had been traded in the game.

Players buy, sell and trade celebrities cards that have images of celebrities on them. Like many other virtual collectibles, these cards are smart contracts and with each purchase it doubles in value. This allows the marketplace to be driven by demand, as with other cryptocollelctbiles. Some of the most expensive cards available include Vitalik Buterin, the Ethereum co-founder and Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and Space X, with other high-value cards ranging from Kim Jong- Un to Kim Kardashian.

These are only a few of the many blockchain games that you can play and with more of them being released all the time, there is great potential for blockchain technology and cryptocurrency to become used by a much wider audience.
