# 1. Introduction

Video games and collectibles – NFT gaming has merged our two childhood obsessions in a magnificent and exciting way.

Why should days and weeks of dungeon crawling have almost no impact on life?

Why should having fun be a waste of time?

People spend a lot of money in games, but when you quit a game, that money is gone.

The solution is blockchain gaming.

Playable characters are “non-fungible tokens”: unique digital art collectibles that are your own standalone assets. Blockchain gaming allows you to gain true ownership of your in-game items with the opportunity to earn real-life rewards. It won’t be spending anymore; it will be investing – that’s the game changer.
