After all block in the game are made, everyone collects their bitcoin (on the transaction cards that correspond the key they have been trying to keep secret during the game). Who own James, Emma and Obi's keys? Full force #Bitcoin Education!

๐Œ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  Blockhunters has nonces, a number you need to pick out of a bag to be able to make a block and collect a reward. Randomness, validating numbers and building a chain based on math. Does this start to look like education? image

Characters! After improving the board, we moved on to optimizing the transaction cards. v1 was quite boring with just "colors and numbers". After consulting board game experts, we improved this SO MUCH with personas! ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช Meet the Garcia family from Venezuela, who use bitcoin to escape hyperinflation. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Or Li from China, who faces mass surveillance and uses bitcoin as an alternative for CBDC's. ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ป Or one of the other eight personas!

Print, print, print Making this prototype was fun! All ideas and iterations are coming together! Did you notice The Times in the Genesis Block? ๐Ÿ‘€

Concept approved, improvements pending After some tests with the new version of the board, it was time to make it more playable, colorful and testable. Let's call it the "design for maximum utility" ๐Ÿ™‚ image

Without decreasing the size of the cards, we managed to optimize the game play a lot! image

Translating ideas and improvements into a playable prototype! With the optimized board and new ideas about private keys, we had some creative sessions and starting working on the very first version of something that eventually became Blockhunters v2!

We're going back in time! In the next weeks we'll take you on a journey from Blockhunters v1 to the current prototype (v2). Step one: redesign the components of the board. The size of v1 (with lots of individual pieces of cardboard) was unnecessarily big. In v2 we made Blockhunters simpler: one single board, smaller dimensions and more efficient use of the space and materials. But also: rethink every single component and optimize it! image
