A Philosophy of Games

We believe that well-designed social games are the key to leveling up our communities, societies, and civilization. You can learn about how games can empower communities with profound benefits in the resources below:

Finite Games and Infinite Games

A game-changing idea that explores a profoundly inspiring vision of life as play and possibility. As the author states, “A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.”

Wonderland: How Play Made the Modern World

A wonderful exploration of how play inspires innovation and has consistently driven the progress of civilization throughout human history. As the author says, you’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun!

ETH 28 - Inspiration and Infinite Games!

Decentralizing Governance with Games

An article by Dan Larimer exploring the potential of games for decentralized governance. He states, “I believe the solution is to have a large number of competitive games that require a vast range of skills and/or genetic predisposition”

ARC: The Spirit of Voluntary Play

Dr. Jordan Peterson describes the spirit of voluntary play as a foundational principle of ARC, the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship.

Gamification

An exploration of how to make life more fun, functional, and efficient with the power of games!

Philosophy meets Pragmatism

You can click the links above to learn more about our philosophy of games to save the world. The following sections will provide an overview of some of our favorite games, including Consensus Games and Antelope Games, and how they can create profound benefits for all.

Consensus Games

Consensus games are an exciting new type of game where the goal is to reach agreement among the players and create mutual benefit. You can see some great consensus games that we make below and learn about consensus games in this article. You can also learn about some tools that we’re building to help everyone enjoy consensus games here.

The consensus games that we create are inspired by ƒractally and Eden Elections, a revolutionary innovation from Web3 pioneer Daniel Larimer that helps people cooperate to create public goods and mutual benefit. We’ve been innovating with new consensus games with weekly meetings for over a year at Eden Fractal and are empowering several communities, such as Alien Worlds Fractal with one of the most popular web3 games.

Eden+Fractal

Eden+Fractal is a social networking game where community members share their work, elect delegates, and give each other respect!

With this elegant cooperating system, community members respect contributions to the community and elect leaders in breakout rooms of four to six people. Everyone gets respect for helping the community and groups reach consensus to determine the relative contributions of each community member. Delegates form councils that update each week, then recent councils cooperate to help make community decisions. You can learn more about Eden+Fractal in this article and the debut episode of Creator Talk.

Cagendas

Cagendas is a social coordination game that helps communities create agendas, choose discussion topics, and make decisions together. At Eden Fractal, we play a version of cagendas called Vlalendas. It pairs perfectly with Eden+Fractal to create a super combo that enables communities to cooperate with unprecedented decentralization, autonomy, and coordination.

Pitches

An introduction to Eden Fractal Pitch Sessions, a recurring event where players compete to share awesome pitches about public goods!

Fractal DJ

An exciting new social game where players compete to share amazing music with each other!

Speeches

An introduction to Speeches, an innovative social game where players compete to share amazing speeches and rank each other’s speeches!

Ideathons

Competitions that inspire people to imagine new possibilities, discover innovations, and bring helpful ideas to life!

Video Games

You can see our article about DAMS to learn more about how these consensus games provide a wonderful opportunity for the next generation of ‘video gaming’ collaboration ;)

Antelope Games

In addition to the consensus games that we create, there are many other exciting games that we love on Antelope community computers.
