Age of Bitcoin is a board game released in 2026 for 1–4 players, 60–120 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by BitToon and its main mechanics are Income, Dice Rolling, and End Game Bonuses.
Our world has been flooded with paper bills since money broke free from the gold standard in 1971. Inflation kept rising, and the price of goods and services seemed to skyrocket! It feels like just working hard isn't always enough to get ahead these days; making smart investments is often necessary! Then, in 2009, a new form of money was born — Bitcoin! At first, it was once dismissed, laughed at, and even traded for pizza. But before too long, it became something everyone was looking into, getting on board with, HODLing (which in the crypto world just means holding onto it!), and finally seeing as digital gold. And that's how the Age of Bitcoin begins! In Age of Bitcoin, players take on the role of individuals from various professions, seeking to accumulate wealth through investments in a variety of assets—including real estate, businesses, collectibles, contract-based assets, gold and Bitcoin. Players will primarily do this by buying and selling assets, hoping to time the market and outwit their opponents. Once the 5th round is over, the game ends and it's time to total the points. The player with the most total Wealth points wins. —description from the publisher
