Intro to Mahjong Meta
"The concept of Mahjong is to create order out of chaos..", the quote from Julia Roberts quite summarized the philosophy of Mahjong game and the real fun behind all the drawing and discarding actions.
Mahjong Meta is originally inspired by ancient classic and popular game Mahjong (麻雀, meaning sparrow, also known as 麻將 in many areas nowadays) which developed in China and spread through the whole world. The reason why our team chooses mahjong as the core gameplay is based on the following facts and consensus that have been fully proved by time：
Strategic element: The game involves strategy and planning, as players need to think ahead and make wise decisions to maximize their chances of winning. This strategic aspect makes the game engaging and enjoyable to play.
Social aspect: Mahjong is often played in a social setting, with players sitting around a table and interacting with one another. This social aspect adds to the enjoyment of the game, as players can catch up with each other, share stories and jokes, and form new friendships.
Mental stimulation: The game requires concentration, observation, and quick thinking, which can be mentally stimulating and improve cognitive skills.
Chance element: The game also has an element of chance, as the tiles that are drawn can greatly impact the outcome of the game. This chance element adds an element of excitement and unpredictability to the game.
Cultural significance: In some parts of the world, such as Asia, Mahjong has a rich cultural history and is considered an important part of traditional culture. Playing the game allows people to connect with their heritage and cultural roots, which can be a source of enjoyment and pride.
Though modern gaming industry is providing vast of choices on new experiences or new stories, Mahjong has always stood the test of time and continue to be popular. The high strategic depth, replayability, skill development and longevity convinced our team that would be meaningful to build a better mahjong theme park on-chain with certain targets:
To create a Global Riichi Mahjong eSports platform on-chain
Mahjong, particularly Riichi Mahjong, requires a wide range of skills such as strategic thinking, pattern recognition, and situational awareness to play well. Mahjong Meta will employ a ranking system, players can compete with each other online and on-chain. Ranking up not only gains access for higher level competition, but also accquires rewards from the seasonal prizes. As a skilled based classic card game, Mahjong fans or new players to this game deserve a trust worthy and well designed competing enviroment.
To provide a reward mahjong gaming system on-chain
When there are stakes involved in a mahjong game, players are more likely to be engaged and invested in the game. This can lead to a more exciting and competitive experience for all players. Playing for stakes can motivate players to improve their skills and strategies, as they have more to gain or lose in the game. This can lead to a higher level of play and more challenging gameplay. And of course, we advice all players should play with their own limits.
To generate a sets of innovative and fun gameplays on-chain
We considered web3 gaming is a new genre for the whole gaming industry. It excited us to see new possibilities from fundamental levels. Every game invented on this planet is, in some way, a validation of a specific set of abilities, including hand-eye coordination, resource allocation, physical reasoning, social logic, and so on. We have discussed enough about the ability requirements of mahjong before, but in Mahjong Meta, we have discovered more specific fun exploration directions for web3 players.
As passionate crypto and NFT users in past years and experienced game developers, the two intersecting identities have brought us the foundation and enthusiasm for in-depth thinking and designing products suitable for web3 players. Our team has added innovative gameplays that maintains the strategic depth and competitive logic of Mahjong itself in this new game, but at the same time can make the game's threshold lower. This gameplay mechanism allows players to focus more on tactical strategy confrontation rather than complicated memory training, and can easily command their customized AI to automatically compete with others according to the player's Mahjong tactical strategy without needing to be online for a long time to maintain high-level competition and game progress.
To build a community of mahjong enthusiasts on-chain
We don't consider community as the tool of a successful web3 project, but a goal for us to achieve. Community is all about people, with the goal of creating a vibrant and inclusive community where players from all over the world can come together to play, interact, and grow. Our vision is to create a space where players can not only enjoy the game, but also connect with others, share their experiences, and form lasting relationships.
To furmulate a learning sytem of mahjong cultures on-chain
To develop and implement an extensive on-chain learning system dedicated to the rich and diverse mahjong cultures, incorporating a variety of regional styles, gameplay strategies, and historical contexts. This comprehensive educational platform aims to engage players of all skill levels, fostering a thriving community that explores, appreciates, and preserves the intricate nuances of this traditional game within the innovative web3 environment.
To set up a mahjong streaming entertainment field on-chain
To establish a vibrant on-chain mahjong streaming entertainment ecosystem, showcasing a wide range of content, including live matches, expert commentary, educational resources, and interactive experiences.
