After working overtime for nine consecutive days, I finally found that long-lost thrill of "being rewarded" in a blockchain game.

I opened this game called Anichess—no KPIs to hit, no clients to argue with. I just made three casual moves on the PenguBoard, and the system airdropped me some $PENGU. That rush felt just like drawing a reward card in Monopoly as a kid—real, direct, no nonsense.

Its design is clever: it breaks down traditional chess into fragmented puzzle levels. You don’t have to play a full game—just solve a stage and you get tokens. This instant feedback incentive mechanism finally gives tired office workers a way to breathe.

Sometimes, what heals adults isn’t some big profound truth. Sometimes, all you need is a game that will "reward you."
