Geopoly: A Blockchain Monopoly
Imagine a world in which the most favorite games on earth come together. Pokemon go and Monopoly. Meet Geopoly, my name is Rico Richardson and in this post I’m going to tell you all about it!
Background
GEOPOLY.io is a polygon based network geolocation economic simulator that allows users to rent and buy, upgrade and sell real-life businesses all around the world. Imagine a pokemon go world in which all the places on the world can be visited and where you can rent,buy, trade, and sell all kinds of real life businesses. It was selected as one of the four most innovative games on mobile and has been selected from over 1700 applicants over 37 countries to participate in the global Google’s indie games accelerator in 2019. It is designed by Widow games which was founded in 2013 by former Microsoft employees. One of the founders and it’s current CEO is Martin Spinetto. He has his own Twitter page as well where he posts regular updates and retweets about the project and you can find him on Linkedin as well. The Product Owner and Game Designer of Widow games is Augusto Pepe Carrero. I’ll link both their profiles in the description. Widow games already has developed more than 15 mobile games which has 1.5 million monthly subscribers and have created a rich ecosystem of VC’s, Advisors, Associates, and Partners to support it’s innovative developments. Geopoly is available in web and android with an IOS version coming soon. There are 2 different layers you can interact with. These are the on chain and the off chain layer.

Off chain
If we look at the off chain layer first, there are 4 main actions. These are Building, Renting, Upgrading and Selling of businesses. When you first start playing Geopoly, you are granted one branch for free. This will give you the initial management capacity to manage new businesses. After playing and reaching the total market capacity available, players will have to invest in upgrades for those already rented properties (which eventually will increase the hourly income of such properties). Each upgrade completed generates XP. The earned XP levels-up the Headquarters and grants new
additional Branches. So basically you have this endless cycle that you can repeat. The ranking system is also part of the game because that way you can compare yourself to players all over the world.
On Chain
If we look at On chain, there are two subjects. These are the NFT’s and Geos. Geos are an exclusive token that will be available on the geopoly web + on chain version. You can obtain Geos by buying it with your fiat or crypto and you can use this to buy businesses around the globe. Since it’s based on the polygon network you can also buy and upgrade those businesses and special locations as NFT’s and earn geos tokens. These NFT’s represent unique and limited businesses and special locations all around the world. Those businesses will generate geos tokens passively and special locations will not only do that but also boost your in game economy based on their real life locations. The NFT’s will be divided in two types. The first one is Special and iconic locations which are preminted NFT’s that can be purchased by any player and will generate him or her passive income in the shape of yield farming, and the other type is that it can act as ownership certificates. Those NFT’s will be minted on request by you the player which in return will grant you the full perpetual, exchangeable and sellable ownership of the selected businesses. Owning a certificate will give you a passive income as well.

Exploring the game
There are two ways you can explore the game, one is with a drone and the other one is through the use of a satellite which can be rented for a limited time to explore interesting cities around the world and establishing businesses there or build branches for your company. Right now there are 80 big cities in the world that you can visit. In that city you can drop the drone and fly it around the city to find new businesses to purchase. Flying the drone is easy. You can use this to scout around your area to find new businesses to acquire. It uses a simple joystick which you can use to go forward or left and right. Very intuitive and easy to use. They are also working on the auctions. In which you can buy or sell your company at an auction where you can place bids, and buy each others property.

Business objectives
Now what would a game be without its objectives? To help you understand and master the game, they’ve introduced 6 different incremental stages. Each of those has a list of objectives you need to complete which will help you win rewards and advance in the game. When you first start playing Geopoly, this mechanism will act as a tutorial with rewards, and later down the line when you’re a seasoned Geopoly business entrepreneur these tasks are designed for achievers and completionists. Which to me makes the game fun to play as well. There are objectives that you can finish and goals you can reach.
Player vs Player
Like many games, Geopoly offers a player vs player experience as well where you will experience a competitive and socially interactive game in which you will have to attach each others tower and steal the resources they have. To do this, you’ll need an especial consumable currency that will allow you to send robots, drones, and satellites to hack the mainframe on top of the enemies branch and steal non tokenized assets.

Roadmap and tokenomics
If we look at their roadmap, then in q4 there is an interactive marketplace launch planned together with the token generation event. Which I’m very excited about because I’m part of the private sale as well through SolrDAO. They are also the sponsor of todays video and you can find a link in the description down below to their Discord and telegram group. Feel free to join them to be able to take part in future private sales. You can also sign up for my own personal Telegram group where we discuss new projects, price action, or where you can request me to do a video. That link will also be in the description down below. Now one more thing, I’m not a registered financial advisor nor is this video ment as financial advice. Always do your own research and never invest money you cannot afford to miss because there is nothing as volatile as crypto. Going back to the roadmap, the first two quarters of next year will be about the pvp prototype and auctions as talked about earlier and then the conversion to play to earn is scheduled for the final quarter of next year. The total supply of geos is 1 billion and the TGE market cap is three hundred and twenty thousand dollars. The specifics of the tokenomics can be found in their whitepaper which I’ll link in the description down below.
Socials
Being visible online is a very important aspect nowadays when it comes to success. Geopoly is present on multiple platforms like Twitter, Telegram and Youtube. I’ve said it before but I’m a big fan of projects that have a Youtube channel. This allows them to engage with their audience and upload videos regarding status updates, or even gameplay and new features. There is nothing as telling as visual effects.

Looks fun right? After fiddling around with this, I was very impressed with how the game looks and feels. It’s also one of the things I like about this project myself because there is an actual product already which means it isn’t all just hopes and dreams. Once again, always do your own research but for now, my name is Rico Richardson, thank you for reading, and if you want to read more, I highly suggest this article. I’ll see you next time. Doei!
