What is Happening?
Snook, a popular online multiplayer IO game, introduced its Big Boys Table (BBT) Themed rooms for ecosystem partners. Snook is seeking to expand its user base with the help of Unstoppable Domains, one of the largest blockchain and Web3 communities, by developing NFT games. It allows you to create and/or participate in a Snook game in a dedicated arena, with the winner taking the prize. In the Big Boys Table game option, players may wager collaterals (tokens) against one another, with the victor taking home all of the staked collaterals.
Snook introduced rooms with a LobsterDAO BBT theme and will host a special game night for all LobsterDAO NFT holders to increase community engagement and provide a unique experience. The LobsterDAO NFT holders are able to Snook BBT theme, allowing for community engagement between NFT communities which is critical for the success of an NFT Collection.

What is Big Boys Table (BBT)? - How NFT Gaming Increases Community Engagement
Big Boys Table (BBT) is a type of game mode where users can stake collaterals (tokens) against each other and the winner takes it all home.
BBT-Theme for NFT collections is its most fundamental use for improving community engagement by creating deep connections within the community.
NFT Collections have the option of designing the visual assets themselves or giving them to Snook so that we can assemble the space for them. The collection is uploaded to Snook and accessible through the in-game menu, where community players can play against each other. As a result, anybody who fits their established requirements, such as having an NFT from the Collection, may now join their BBT room and play Snook.
Projects can do the following with BBT Themed rooms:
-
Design branded in-game assets to establish a distinct environment. Gate rooms using token-based criteria, granting token holders and the community utility.
-
Users can create and play in the BBT-themed room, as well as host tournaments and competitive events with prizes.
What is Unstoppable Domains?
Unstoppable Domains is a San Francisco-based company that utilizes blockchain domains to connect Web2 to Web3. Using an Unstoppable Domain enables the creation of a blockchain-connected web address similar to a URL that converts a cryptocurrency wallet’s addresses into a far simpler human-readable name that connects with decentralized applications and exchanges.
Unstoppable Domains simplifies cryptocurrency transactions on the web by providing web addresses that eliminate the need to know a recipient’s public key address, which is a cumbersome string of letters and numbers. Unstoppable Domains also enables the creation of decentralized websites that can be uploaded to the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), peer-to-peer file storage and sharing network.
The new solution offered by Snook represents a significant opportunity for the GameFi industry as a whole. Anyone interested in gaming, NFTs, multichain developments, or blockchain interoperability can use these BTT-themed chat rooms to interact with their audience or meet new people. The Snook team intends to reduce NFT market inflation. In addition, the game has established a model for capturing the value of skill and performance instead of rumours and speculation.
Final Thoughts
The Snooks’ partnerships with Unstoppable Domains and LobsterDAO are a great beginning for increasing community engagement. In my opinion, the web3 community can anticipate many more developments for the esports industry that benefit players on web3 and the associated ecosystem.
