    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing online games, including various means of providing computer-implemented games using standard and non-standard tokens, and that operate in coordination with an online social network. Examples of standard tokens may include tokens associated with each card of a standard 52 card deck, units in a real-time strategy game, and the like. Non-standard tokens may represent digital tokens with specified attributes and associated digital rights management for use by specified users, such as users purchasing rights to a particular non-standard token. Non-standard tokens may also include tokens with different functionality across a number of different computer-implemented games.

  • Publication number: 20110237325
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing online games, including trading card games played on a computer, and other mobile devices, are described using combinations of standard and non-standard digital tokens. The systems and methods provide the capability for games to allow users to acquire rights to digital tokens that have different functionality across a spectrum of computer-implemented games, and for computer-implemented games to combine variable-use digital tokens with other standard gaming tools and constructs, such as a standard 52 card deck.

  • Publication number: 20060281553
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums are disclosed for creating game elements using location information. In one embodiment, at least one-machine readable medium has instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a machine cause the machine to implement a game, to obtain information about a location of the machine, and to abstract the information into an element of the game.
