24 alternatives to Infinite Swap – Trade a bottle cap up to a house

Hey HN, Infinite Swap is a game inspired by Kyle MacDonald’s One Red Paperclip and other bigger-and-better swap stories - you start with a green bottle cap and trade it with other characters in various locations all the way up to a house and beyond. A while ago I got inspired by viral games Infinite Craft and What Beats Rock? and wanted to make my own ‘exploring a LLM’s latent space’ style challenge. After much experimentation this became a trading style game, where the LLM comes up with all the items, trading scenarios and value estimates, which ended up being surprisingly fun and somewhat…

    Hypersplit is like Neal's Infinite Craft but turned upside down. Instead of crafting your way up from the four elements, you start big and go small, down to quarks.

    I've been working for a while on trying to curate a game that has the emergence of procedurally generated computer games but that can be played with only pen and paper.
