The earliest known references to card games that resemble Solitaire date back to the 16th century. Fast forward to 2023 and an estimated 35 million active users still play solitaire on a monthly bases.

Solitaire refers to a classic single-player card game that is typically played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The goal of the game is to arrange the cards in a specific order or pattern according to predetermined rules. The most well-known version of Solitaire is known as "Klondike," but there are numerous variations of the game, each with its own set of rules and objectives.

 Solitaire is a classic game that provides a simple and enjoyable way to pass the time. It can be a relaxing and engaging activity that can be played alone, making it suitable for moments when you're looking for a bit of entertainment without needing a partner.

 Playing Solitaire can help improve cognitive skills such as critical thinking, strategic planning, and problem-solving. Players need to consider various moves and potential outcomes to make the best decisions, which exercises the brain and keeps it active.

 Solitaire requires patience and the ability to focus on the game's progression. Players need to pay attention to the layout of the cards and think several steps ahead to achieve the goal of building foundation piles. This can enhance concentration and attention to detail.

 The game involves making decisions about which cards to move and when to move them. Players must analyze the current situation and choose the best move from the available options. This can help sharpen decision-making skills and encourage a thoughtful approach.

 Engaging in a game of Solitaire can serve as a form of stress relief and relaxation. The game's repetitive and soothing nature can help reduce anxiety and provide a mental break from daily worries.

 Playing Solitaire requires players to remember the positions of various cards in the tableau. This can aid in memory retention and the development of mnemonic skills.

 Physically moving the cards on a digital or physical surface involves fine motor skills. This can be especially beneficial for individuals looking to improve their hand-eye coordination and dexterity.

Let's kick off with a fascinating fact: board games have been around for centuries. For instance, strategic board games like Backgammon, which dates back to 1300 BC, taught players the art of strategy. It's remarkable that as we strategically maneuvered pieces on checkered boards to outplay opponents, we were unknowingly imbibing principles akin to those of warfare strategy. Similarly, games like Monopoly showcased our aptitude as shrewd entrepreneurs. Evidently, gaming can be an educational endeavor, particularly when employed during leisure time.

Despite the constraints of our fast-paced lives, finding time for traditional board games is challenging. Nevertheless, convenient alternatives like gaming platforms such as Arena now provide access to revamped versions of these games, while retaining their timeless appeal.

Here are 3 benefits of playing board games.

Board games are skillfully crafted to provide relaxation and mental refreshment. Importantly, they are inherently rewarding. Arena    facilitates  playing games and logginig your score on a leaderbaord to see how you rank against competition.  

Board games are universally appealing, transcending age barriers. Participating in an online game of Butterfly Shimai, regardless of one's age, can spark childlike enthusiasm and elation after every victory.  Studies suggest that older individuals can also benefit from online board games, enhancing memory and mental well-being.

Board games convey valuable life lessons to children. Introducing youngsters to these games fosters skills such as strategic thinking, logical analysis, competitive spirit, and good sportsmanship. Even in defeat, children learn to gracefully accept outcomes, thus cultivating sportsmanlike behavior. Moreover, mobile board games like Monopoly offer insights into finance and investment, prompting some schools to incorporate board games into their educational curriculum.


The gaming industry has evolved and the old reference of kids and males - even misfits - being the entire gaming community is no longer valid. There’s been a 79% increase in sponsored streams on Twitch and YouTube and there are good reasons for this.

The gaming industry has reached $220 billion and has no signs of slowing down. Gaming influencers are the second most followed personalities after music personalities. Gaming audiences are also highly engaged with the content they consume. Therefore brands are shifting strategies and budgets to be part of this massive community.

With 38% of gamers being between the ages of 18 to 34, the gaming space is ideal for reaching Gen-Z and young millennial consumers. The gender balance in gaming has also become way more balanced than many might assume, with 41% of gamers in the US identifying as female as per a study conducted in 2021.

Games have reached a stage of being hyper-customizable. With the current era of game development engines it has become increasingly easy and cost effective to tailor games and align it with a brand. In-game microtransactions are also a huge channel for brands to sell and drive feet back through the door.

Music is a universal language that has the power to bring people together, evoke emotions, and uplift spirits. For many artists, music is their passion and livelihood. However, it has always been a challenge for musicians to receive fair compensation for their work across the Pacific Islands. This is where Streamplay Studios' mJams music comes in. In a recent article published in the Post Courier, it was revealed that mJams music has delivered the first-ever royalties to artists in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

mJams music is a product of Streamplay Studios, a South Pacific based music streaming and distribution service. The mJams music platform is designed to be a hub/platform that local music and content creators across the Pacific Island can call their own, with a heavy focus on preserving Local Island music by only allowing that artists from Pacific nations to join the application.

How is mJams music making a difference in the lives of musicians in PNG?

For many years, musicians in PNG have struggled to receive fair compensation for their work. This is due to the lack of proper systems in place to track and distribute royalties and proficient music rights legislation. However, with the introduction of mJams music, the music industry in PNG is set to change. The platform provides an easy way for musicians to distribute their music and get paid for their work. This has not only helped musicians to earn a steady income but has also helped to promote their work to a wider audience.

The recent article in the Post Courier highlights the success of mJams music in delivering the first-ever royalties to artists in PNG. This is a huge step towards empowering and supporting musicians in the region and allowing them to reach a wider audience and earn a living from their passion.

mJams' goal is to provide a platform for musicians to showcase their talent, connect with their fans, and earn a fair income from their hard work. With the help of local partner Telikom, mJams is able to reach more people and bring a positive impact on the music industry in PNG.

All that is required for cloud based gaming is a subscription, a smartphone and an internet connection. These three pieces are all that’s needed to experience the next generation of gaming.

Telcos are in a great position to benefit from this shift in the gaming industry. By providing connectivity to end-users to support cloud gaming and the network infrastructure such as data centers for cloud gaming providers, telcos are setting themselves up for becoming a key part of the cloud gaming ecosystem.

Increased accessibility with free-to-play models are having high rates of success as shown by reports in the European gaming market. The free-to-play model has rapidly increased the trial and adoption of new games and in-game microtransactions has changed the gaming economy. On-the-go gaming is also seeing an increase in popularity on the back of the smartphone market penetration, which effectively turns and device into a high-powered computer with cloud gaming technology. Longer battery life for mobile devices, portable chargers and 5G internet speeds are also contributing massively to the cloud gaming shift.

Telcos in Europe are using bundling strategies and promoting their services cross platform to create new streams of revenue for their business.


Cloud gaming/game streaming is transforming the gaming industry like Netflix did the movie streaming industry.

With 5G and cloud gaming on the rise, Streamplay Studio has been working diligently to provide Africa’s biggest mobile service provider with a pioneering platform that offers users with the next generation of mobile gaming - 5G cloud gaming.

Cloud gaming, sometimes referred to as gaming on demand or gaming as a service, is a type of online gaming that runs video games on remote servers and streams them directly to a user’s device. For the users, this means no downloads of apps to a device, instant access to a library of playable games, while being console quality on your phone.

Arena 5G is a social competitive platform that differentiates itself from competition by offering premium games on a platform that offers competition-based tournaments where social gamers can compete to win prizes. Winners are selected in two ways; 1) leaderboards are incorporated in the tournaments and the top 3 players are rewarded with weekly and monthly prizes and 2) randomized spot prizes are awarded to players that participate on a regular basis. This system ensures an inclusive social experience aimed at a broad market of gamers ranging from top tier players to those who are just looking for a little bit of fun.

On Friday, 30 September 2022, Streamplay Studio and MTN pioneered a gaming experience by launching Arena 5G to MTN subscribers.

With music and video streaming services already firmly established both in technology and amongst consumers, gaming is hot on the heels. The challenge to date has been with providing gamers with a seamless and lag free experience. Longer format games have struggled to make the leap for these exact reasons and where some have been met with challenges, Streamplay Studio has seen the opportunity to offer short-format premium games to the market.

Streamplay’s new platform offers users with premium games streamed straight to a mobile phone, breaking down the barrier of needing the best hardware to play the best games. No downloads are required as users can instantly play a range of top tier games. As another point of differentiation, the Arena 5G platform also offers tournaments where gamers can compete in an esports format where top players are rewarded.

Thanks to contributions by Streamplay Studio, restrictions to premium games based on hardware and software are one step closer to being lifted!
