1. What is this game?
Moonpoly (or Moonity) is a game like Monopoly, but made for Luna Classic community.
We use real validators of Terra Classic as the players on the board.
Main idea:
-
Pick randomly about 40 active validators from around 100 validators.
-
Put them randomly on the board.
-
Use LUNC and USTC for money in the game.
-
There is a Game Vault and Validator Vault to keep the money and give reward later.
-
If you stake LUNC with the validator that win or rank high, you can get some reward too.
The game is mostly passive at the beginning. System will roll dice and move the validators automatically. Later we can add more action if community like it.
2. How the game work
When start a new game:
-
System randomly choose 40 active validators.
-
Put them randomly on the board.
-
Randomly choose 1 validator to go first. Then the validators on the left side will play next, go around the board.
Movement:
-
Use 1 dice (1-6 steps) or 2 dice (2-12 steps).
-
Dice result come from blockchain data or some trust source, so it is fair and random.
-
Start from the Start square (bottom right corner), move clockwise.
Basic rules:
-
Each validator has some LUNC as starting money.
-
First round is free, no one pay tax or rent.
-
From round 2, normal rules start.
-
When a validator pass the Start square, they get some LUNC bonus.
-
If any validator reach a certain amount of LUNC, that validator win the game.
-
Top 5 validators will get reward.
-
If a validator lose all LUNC (become 0), their square is disabled. Other validators can buy that square later.
3. What we need to design first
These things should be clear early:
-
How to make the dice random in a fair way (technical part)
-
Design all the squares on the board (what each square do)
-
Make the game can run passive, no need people click every time
-
Test how long one game usually take
-
Simple UI so people can watch the game easily
Special design: Moon square and Mars square
On the board we will have some special squares called Moon (To The Moon 
) and Mars (To The Mars 
).
These squares work like Chance and Community Chest in Monopoly.
When a validator land on Moon or Mars square, the system will randomly pick one funny action.
The action can be good or bad for that validator.
Some example actions:
-
Go straight to Start square and receive the normal bonus money (same as when you pass Start)
-
Go to Jail (Jailed). You must stay there until next turn or pay something to get out
-
You like 1.5% tax? Ok, next time you pass Start, you will be charged extra 1.5% tax
-
All other validators must pay you a small amount of LUNC
-
You lose 5% of your current LUNC balance
-
Move forward 3 more squares immediately
-
Swap position with a random validator on the board
-
Your next rent income will be double (only one time)
-
Pay (x) LUNC to the Game Vault as “donation to the community”
We need to design a list of about 15–20 different actions (mix of good and bad), make them funny and related to crypto or Luna Classic feeling.
4. Ideas for later
-
Not 100% passive anymore. When it is your turn, validator can do some action (buy, sell, upgrade square) but only in short time.
-
Give each validator a background or avatar, look cool or funny, easy to recognize.
-
Add a chat box so people can talk while watching the game.
-
And many more ideas later…
5. Why make this game?
-
Game can connect the community. Anyone can join and have chance to get reward (validators and delegators).
-
People put some LUNC into Game Vault.
-
Blockchain become more active, more things happening.
-
User can split their stake to different validators to have more chance.
-
If Game Vault grow well, we can use it to upgrade the game and do more things.
-
Active validators become more interesting, people may want to stake more with them.
This is just personal idea. If community feel interested, we can discuss together, add more ideas and make it better.
Sorry, the image I asked AI to design is attached so everyone can see the board easier. There are some mistakes in a few validator positions, please just ignore them.
