There’s an experiment happening right now  on how video games are developed, governed,  
[4]
and monetized. By integrating blockchain, this new  breed of games gives players some form of control.  
[11]
From owning in-game items to dictating how the  game evolves. Let’s take a look at some of these  
[16]
experiments. Here are 10 crypto games you can  play right now, arranged in no particular order.
[25]
1. Axie Infinity Breed. Battle. Explore. At the very heart of this  
[30]
game are digital pets called Axies. Axie Infinity  sits at the forefront of the “play-to-earn” model  
[36]
where players gain FULL ownership of in-game  assets. By exploring the world, breeding and  
[42]
competing, players become active members of the  game’s economy and help steer development. It’s  
[48]
still very early and has a lot of room for growth  to compete against industry giants like Pokemon.  
[53]
But with an active community of  players and a dedicated team behind it,  
[56]
the future looks bright. Axie Infinity is  available for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.
[66]
2. Nine Chronicles It’s a free-to-play  
[69]
roleplaying game with a technical twist. Just  like other RPGs, you play as an adventurer:  
[75]
collecting loot, killing monsters, battling  other players and exploring a vast fantasy world.  
[81]
What makes Nine Chronicles different is what’s  underneath. It’s built on a peer-to-peer network  
[86]
of gamers and miners, just like BitTorrent.  This means that no central server is owned  
[91]
by one company. In theory, the whole online  world will continue to exist as long as there  
[96]
are players. Nine Chronicles is playable on  Windows, with Steam Early Access coming soon.
[105]
3. Town Star This competitive farming sim is developed by  
[109]
the creative minds behind Farmville and Words with  Friends. Town Star runs on a 6-day cycle. Every  
[116]
Tuesday, the world map is reset and all players  start from scratch. Build your farm, hire workers,  
[122]
sell and trade your way to become the most  productive farmer in the world. At the end of each  
[128]
cycle, the top farmers win GALA tokens, NFTs , and  more. The competition is fierce with this month’s  
[135]
prize pool valued at $1 million. Town Star’s  beta version is playable on any modern browser.
[145]
4. Lost Relics This is an ARPG following the tradition  
[150]
of Diablo. Complete quests, kill monsters,  conquer dungeons, and collect the rarest of loot!  
[157]
And these loot come in two types: virtual and  blockchain. Virtual items are those we’re all  
[162]
familiar with. Weapons, armors, and accessories  maintained and controlled by the game’s developer.  
[168]
Blockchain items, on the other hand, are  decentralized. You’re free to use, trade,  
[173]
sell, transfer, even discard them…and  the developer can’t do a thing about it.  
[178]
Lost Relics is free-to-play with an option  for paid membership to unlock perks.  
[183]
The pre-alpha version is playable on Windows  and Mac. Fair warning, player slots are limited.
[192]
5. Splinterlands Remember how easy it was to trade physical cards  
[197]
of games like Pokemon and Magic the Gathering?  Splinterlands is exactly like that but in  
[202]
digital form. You build your deck with different  fighters, stats, and abilities. Then you battle  
[208]
other players in the arena. For every win, your  rank increases, unlocking higher-level cards and  
[214]
more rewards. What separates Splinterlands from  games like Hearthstone is that the cards are NFTs.  
[220]
These are pieces of code stored on the  blockchain that act as certificates of ownership.  
[225]
This means that players own the cards, giving  them the freedom to play, trade, buy, and sell  
[230]
them whenever they want. Splinterlands  is available on PC, Android, and iOS.
[239]
6. Sorare 
[241]
This is another collectible card game. Imagine a  five-a-side fantasy football on a global scale.  
[247]
Sorare cards feature footballers from different  leagues around the world. Using the Sorare cards,  
[253]
you build your own virtual football team and join  active leagues. The cards earn XP based on your  
[259]
players’ performance in real-life football  matches. With every point earned, your team  
[264]
becomes more powerful. This gives you a chance to  compete in higher divisions and win bigger prizes.  
[270]
This is one of the biggest blockchain games  you can play right now. With more than 135  
[276]
licensed football clubs, covering 23 leagues.  Sorare is playable on any modern browser.
[285]
7. League of Kingdoms It’s your typical browser MMO  
[289]
strategy where you build a kingdom, train troops,  form alliances, and compete against other players.  
[296]
What makes League of Kingdoms unique is how it  implements blockchain technology to engage users.  
[302]
First, all lands in the game are real-estate  NFTs minted in the Ethereum blockchain.  
[307]
You can build, trade, and even  earn rewards by owning these lands.  
[311]
Second is governance. Players can elect leaders  and vote on features or mechanics they want to  
[317]
see in the next update. League of Kingdoms is  playable on Android, iOS, and any modern browser.
[326]
8. ZED RUN As silly as it sounds, Zed is a horse-racing game  
[331]
on the blockchain. The racing part is just the  consequence of how it’s designed. The real game  
[337]
is breeding the fastest and strongest racehorses.  Like all the games in this list, each horse is an  
[343]
NFT that carries a unique DNA. This DNA determines  the horse’s racing ability, bloodline, and rarity.  
[350]
If you’re not into this type of game and just want  to see virtual racehorses compete, head over the  
[355]
ZED RUN’s website and watch live races. It’s  fun! It’s playable on Android and on browsers.
[364]
9. CryptoFights Battle other players for XP,  
[369]
loot, and cash rewards! CryptoFights is  a turn-based fighting game with mechanics  
[374]
inspired by Dungeons and Dragons. You start  by playing a single-player story mode to gain  
[379]
weapons and ability points. Then, you  can enter PvP matches and tournaments.  
[384]
The skills, weapons, and armor you equip; as well  as your understanding of the game’s mechanics can  
[389]
greatly affect your chances of winning. The game’s  open beta version is available on PC and Android.  
[396]
Although you have to download the  files directly on their website.
[402]
10. The Six Dragons This is an open-world  
[406]
RPG with over a billion randomly generated  dungeons on 256 square kilometer map. It even  
[413]
starts like other games of the genre. You wake  up in a mysterious world ripe for exploration,  
[419]
raid dungeons, and craft items. What sets it  apart from traditional open-world RPGs is its  
[425]
crafting and item management. Valuable items are  stored on the blockchain as NFTs and you can sell,  
[432]
trade, even earn from them. Early  access is playable on the PC.  
[437]
A PS5 version with PvP is in the works and  scheduled to launch by the end of the year.
