# The Arcades (Casual Games)

Our casual games are the cornerstone of the portal. Eventually they are the destination for players and the source from which all the economic activity emanates. These games are picked because they are **easy to learn**, have a **high re-playability** and **they're compatible with a competitive blockchain** environment. With our special approach to blockchain gaming plus our cross-genre experience as game developers, we are building a game portfolio with the genres we all love.&#x20;

### Easy to learn, ~~hard to master~~ easy to earn

We want to keep a low entry barrier for new players to start playing and earning tokens in our games. That's the reason for us to focus on game genres that most people are familiar with. As players spend time playing the games, optimal strategies will start becoming more obvious all through experiential learning and the rest of the portal's dynamics are designed so they don't become an entry barrier but rather something you can ignore until it emerges casually.

We're aware of how much work is needed to improve the conversion of blockchain noobs into active players, so we will keep pushing towards that goal. The blockchain aspect of the platform should go unnoticed for our players until the moment they claim their earnings.\\

Those are the prerogatives of our ClashDome Citizens.](https://2688621584-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZtjlKTkzaW7poUKdCXsM%2Fuploads%2FbhBXMaz4u8tQbmnr1bah%2Fmegathread%20rug%20pool%205.jpg?alt=media\&token=27af92fa-a59a-4fdc-9899-b3029ff605fe)

### Ever-growing portfolio

The palette of games we are assembling covers a wide variety of genres, so everyone can find their personal favorite. Some of them are more casual, some are more skill-demanding. **There will always be a game for you in ClashDome!**

At the moment this WhitePaper is being written, we have 5 available games in the portal. Every now and then new games will be added to the portal.&#x20;

### Play for free or move on to the WAX Tiers

Besides picking their favorite game, players can also pick in which tier they'll play their Duels.\
In the **Free tier**, ClashDome Citizens can earn LUDIO, our main token, for each victory. \
If they're confident enough with their skills, players can also play in the **WAX tiers.**\
These WAX tiers have an entry fee and you will earn WAXP for every victory you get. In the WAX tiers, the winner of the match will earn double the amount of the entry fee minus a 5% commission for the portal. Our fair matchmaking will pair you against a rival with similar skills so you will have a balanced match.

![Guest (unregistered) players can play in the WAX Tiers, but only Citizens can additionally play on the Free Tier.](https://2688621584-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZtjlKTkzaW7poUKdCXsM%2Fuploads%2FjrGeoVCX9YtL3lVbahGz%2Ftiers.jpg?alt=media\&token=11c2436e-7c87-44dc-9758-06e264c9b2f4)

We encourage players to become familiar with the games by playing on the Free Tier before trying their luck at the WAX Tiers. Only when you have a notion of how good of a player you are in the overall context, you can be ready to play with fair chances on the WAX Tiers.
