This innovative board game explores the potential effects of cryptocurrency, such as Ethereum-run Decentralized Applications (DApps) on society. Players play either as the corporate elite who control the majority of the resources or the independent DApps who challenge them in competition for blockchain technology. In the game different types of capital (human, social, etc.) are represented by blocks and are either stacked, helping the corporate elite, or removed, helping the DApps. Much like Jenga, selecting blocks becomes tricky as the game progresses. The game ends when one side controls all resources, or the tower falls (and therefore, society) collapses. DApp Tycoon is one of three board games produced in think[box] by a team of CWRU MBA and CIA students.
