NFTS RESEARCH BOARD GAME

We don't belong in your reality, your real life. In your reality, your real life, you can merely meet our avatars in any version. So, stay alert and beware of scams!

Executive Summary

Board games are powerful tools for immersive learning. By integrating NFTs into board game mechanics, players can own, evolve, and share their progress, turning physical or digital board games into educational ecosystems with lasting on-chain records.

This research explores how NFTs can be used to document knowledge, reward mastery, and create replayable, shareable learning experiences through board games.


Background

Traditional board games rely on centralized components — static cards, printed manuals, and temporary player states. In an NFT-enhanced model, every game element can become dynamic, verifiable, and transferrable, while player achievements become part of their digital identity.


Use-Cases of NFTs in Educational Board Games

NFT Type
Function
Example

Role NFTs

Define player identity in the game world

Student, Mentor, Critic, Builder

Progress NFTs

Record learning achievements and level-ups

"Completed Logic Module", "History Explorer Lv.2"

Knowledge Cards

Modular content pieces that evolve with interaction

Upgradable NFT cards (e.g., math formulas, ethics scenarios)

Badge NFTs

Issued after mastering a concept or winning a round

"Strategy Master", "Team Collaborator"

Game Mod NFTs

Player-created mods or expansions

New rule sets minted as NFTs


Real-World Benefits

  • Persistent Learning History → Player history is tracked across games and becomes part of their Web3 resume

  • Peer-to-Peer Recognition → Badges and tokens can be given by other players or educators

  • Open Ecosystem for Educators → Teachers/designers can mint and distribute their own learning packs


iBLOOMING Case Opportunity

iBLOOMING can integrate an NFT-based board game that:

  • Simulates real-world decision-making (e.g., career, ethics, collaboration)

  • Mints Soulbound NFTs as learning records

  • Allows peer-to-peer challenge mode where players reward others

This merges gamification, Web3 identity, and educational impact into a cohesive system.


Challenges & Recommendations

Challenge
Recommendation

High friction to onboard kids or educators

Use custodial wallets or in-app NFTs

Misuse of NFTs as speculation

Make NFTs soulbound or non-tradeable

Lack of cross-game standardization

Adopt ERC-1155 or universal metadata schema


Conclusion

NFT-powered board games transform education from consumption to co-creation and ownership. By anchoring learning progress and identity on-chain, we enable a new frontier of gamified knowledge transfer that’s collaborative, verifiable, and fun.
