# Introduction ### Welcome Scarcity is a game on Polygon that is inspired by a future vision for a Gameverse NFT-based adventure running on Dungeons & Dragons' battle-tested game system. It is a fork of Andre Cronje's Rarity on Fantom (inspired by Loot), with a number of significant and value-additive game theory and economics upgrades. We invite you on this journey! ### Introduction Scarcity is deployed on Polygon. A primary reason for choosing Polygon is the seamless integration with the Opensea marketplace that will radically improve the trade of items crafted by players, depending on their attributes and character. Polygon also has one of the largest and most proficient communities in blockchain including a burgeoning NFT community. Scarcity (the word not the game) is something that should be derived from the attributes and skill of players, not just inception of the game (as with Loot, for example). This is a foundation of value that Scarcity brings to blockchain game development. The world is being swamped by unlimited money printing. Spurred by this, new economic stores of value are having to emerge and are indeed gaining tremendous traction throughout the investing world. The extremely exciting innovation we are witnessing is that these new discoveries of value are also emerging not in the physical world, but in the virtual world as well. Scarcity is definitively THE watchword for that which has value. Choose your Adventurer carefully, and prepare for a new World of blockchain game economics. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
