World Challenge Game (WCG) is a strategy board game on Polygon, taking the form of a physical board that costs about $60 or a mobile version. The in-game currency, WCG Token ($WORLD), allows players to earn rewards from their victories and facilitates transactions within the game. While an exact official release date for the mobile version hasn't been confirmed, its launch is anticipated in early 2024.

Gameplay

In the World Challenger Game, players use a flip-board featuring maps of Europe or America. During each turn, players must select a question to answer. On mobile, questions appear on the screen, and players need to answer correctly. These questions cover general knowledge topics like culture, geography, food, and more. The player with the most points at the end wins the game as they navigate and engage with the map.

Overall Thoughts

Collaborating with educational institutions like ESIC Business & Marketing School, European University of Valencia, and Polytechnic University of Valencia, World Challenger Game caters to both gamers and those who are interested in learning.

I had a lot of fun playing this trivia game with family and friends. But it goes beyond trivia: the mobile version introduces skill-like effects, enhancing the challenge with debuff-like elements. Creative features like obstructing vision with sticky substances on the screen inject an additional layer of complexity, making the gameplay even more intriguing.

The integration of a $WORLD token, valued at approximately $1.2, suggests an incentive for players keen on earning. But even without the financial reward – it’s a great educational strategy game to play with groups.
