Check them out at this year’s YGG Web3 Games Summit!

[MANILA, PHILIPPINES – 9:00 AM EST / 9:00 PM SGT, October 25, 2023] Web3 is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing sectors in gaming, as it boasts unique features such as true scarcity of in-game assets, provable fairness, and the ability for players to take ownership of their hard-won reputation and achievements.

While many early web3 games focused on play-to-earn, there are increasingly more games that focus on fun and immersive gameplay. Spanning various genres from fast-paced battle royales to strategic card-based gameplay reminiscent of Magic: The Gathering, these games invite blockchain enthusiasts and curious gamers alike to discover the future of gaming.

Are you curious as to what gaming might look like in the future? Yield Guild Games (YGG) suggests checking out these exciting, new web3 games.
