# Player vs Player

Most gambling platforms struggle to deliver true Player vs Player (PvP) gameplay. This is where **Ape Church** stands out. The concept is simple and powerful:

* Players choose a game.
* They join a table with a predefined wager.
* The platform automatically determines the outcome and rewards the winner(s).

Every PvP game on **Ape Church** is completely peer-to-peer—these games do not interact with the house. 

For example, players A, B, C, D, and E might all enter the same PvP game. Depending on the rules of that game:

* One or more players will win the prize pot or a portion of it.
* The remaining players will lose their stake to the winner(s).

This structure creates a true competitive environment where players face off against each other—without a house edge skewing the odds. There is no house involvement in these games. They are designed for head-to-head or multi-player competition, scaling anywhere **from 2 to 10,000 players.**

To enter, players simply approve a transaction and commit their stake to the game’s smart contract. The game begins once all required players have joined.

Some games may offer a voting mechanism, allowing players to start early if not all seats are filled—based on what's fair and functional for that specific game.

PvP game types will vary: some will be winner-takes-all, while others will support multiple winners, letting players select their preferred balance of risk and reward.

We expect PvP games to be one of the most compelling aspects of **Ape Church**, attracting both new and returning players. With no bias, no middlemen, and no centralized influence, every game is fair, transparent, and fully on-chain.

The next sections of this documentation will explore the available PvP games in more detail.
