Interesting. Are there already some games doing it with steemit, or this is just idea and brainstorming. If there are if you can share i will appreciate. Thank you.

Great idea. When I learned about the Steemit, I was surprised that you can write posts and comments, and get paid for it. And my next thought was: "The next step is to pay for that you are playing a PC games." 
And now your turn 8)
When I read your post, I immediately remembered Heroes of Might and Magic game 8))) 5-8 hours game and "The winner takes it all!" 
Please don't forget me when you will realize this idea 8))))))

I like the idea of games but i dont see why we would need all game details/data onchain in my opinion it can be offchain because theses data dont need to be stored in the blockchain forever and are irrelevant for the future. (=waste and no value data somehow) and some specific parts would be onchain to allow votes/rewards 
For the users its almost the same 
I might be wrong .. Just some quick thoughts

Really great idea, Im really excited about it!

I think you've got a good idea here but I'm gonna take it in another direction, rather than move based games what about a real time strategy(RTS) that uses steem dollars to purchase in game? I don't know if you ever played game of war, evony, or any of those games, but they are big money makers. Basically they are free to play, pay to win. If we gave people the option to earn steem dollars for posting content and then using those SD in game to make purchases, either from the game store, or trading with other players, it would give more reason for people to use Steemit. Not only that but it would give a reason to buy SD, and create a market for it. People in game could trade resources for SD for more cheaply than they can buy them from the game store and people would play just to make SD and cash out playing a game.

I just love how this platform is and will be evolving.

Sounds like a great idea. I also would love to play games as risk or monopoly ;) It would be funny if we could play for Steem (SteemPower or SteemDollar).

I truly like the idea of a game linked to Steemit where one can earn while playing. I have one game idea that may work. I would suggest different types of games for different types of players, though. I would soooo play a game I liked on Steemit.

If any game developers would like to get with me on my idea for a game to be implemented on the Steemit platform, feel free to contact me.
Thanks

Great idea, keep it up!

Simple lottery could be the first game to be implemented. Or something like SatoshiDice, which was very popular way of spending bitcoins in the early days.

It shouldn't be too hard to make a nice UI for simple website. But it's very important to make sure that the system is provably fair.

Maybe best way to get gaming started is to begin with simple games, attract some userbase and then develop more complicated and diverse games?

This would be awesome! Starting with turn-based challenges like proposed, were winners (and those who bet on the winner) get rewarded sounds like a great start. Later, casual/entertaining games could be build for which one has to burn SBD in order to play them.

I like this idea a lot. I spoke of an idea for steemit poker in the post a while ago; https://steemit.com/steemit/@son-of-satire/3-outside-the-box-ideas-on-how-to-stop-the-price-of-steem-falling.
I believe that this would also help to increase the amount of STEEM being invested rather than cashed out. Trust could be established by making it open source so that everyone could see how the cards were picked entirely at random. This could in turn draw online poker players from other sites that are less trusted, and increase the demand for STEEM as they would need to purchase some in order to play on the new, trusted site. The only thing is, I'm not sure if there is some type of legality issue in regards to hosting a site which can be used for gambling. But, as long as it is only STEEM that is used on the site, rather than an accepted fiat currency, it may be ale to circumvent any legal issues. I'm unable to find any information on this though, so I cannot say for certain.

Still, excellent idea and I think that bringing people together for brainstorming sessions is exactly what this site needs.

Great idea!
I really want to see somebody to develop a strategy game on top of steem. For starting maybe RISK?

I'm not that into games, but I know a lot of people play them to pass the time. Just see how much money things like Candy Crush make as people are willing to pay for extra features. Imagine if that economy were running on Steem! People could be earning it and using it in the games. Lots of potential

Thanks for the post @good-karma great mentions of our projects @chessmasters and @steemsports, appreciated. We are working on a steemsports.com frontend using the blockchain to record provably fair betting data. Chessmasters will have community chess games and betting thereon, we haven't gone as far as having actual chess games recorded on the chain, but that is a great idea to immortalise the game and make it provably fair. Contact me in steemit.chat, I think @furion and I have alot in common with you.
