Top 10 Games for Kratom Users

Games have always been good for what ails you. For both serious gamers (and even us casuals), is there anything better than booting up your system or PC, and just playing? After the end of a stressful day, or on a chill weekend, we love getting lost in a quick game…or sometimes a lot longer than that.

But could our favorite games get even better? With some quality kratom, they just might. 

Just want to see the top games? Click here to see our list of the best games for kratom users in 2023.

In this article, we’re going to talk about why many gamers and board game players choose to use kratom while playing. We’ll discuss what makes a great game for kratom use, and the best kratom for gaming including kratom with timed-base games.

What Makes a Game Great to Play with Kratom?

Many users report that kratom gives them an energized feeling. Does that sound like your experience? Fast-paced, action-packed games are a natural fit. Games with lots of activity and intense storylines are great to play while using kratom, and are sure to keep the vibes going.

Platforming games, or games with short ‘rounds,’ levels, or matches are also top contenders when you’re looking for a game to play while using kratom. The fast pace of the game makes it easy to get into that flow state where time passes quickly, and the ‘grind’ that some games require feels a whole lot smoother.

Other factors to consider? Engaging gameplay and game design are at the top of the list. We like to get lost in the world of our games, and taking kratom can definitely help you get immersed.

At the end of the day, games are just supposed to be fun—so pick the game that fits you! In the mood for a more laid-back, relaxing session? You won’t enjoy a frenzied first-person shooter. If you like an RPG, a racer, or something completely different, kratom can elevate your experience. We also have tips to help people get back into gaming.

What Kratom is Best for Gaming?

Not sure where to start with kratom? Just like any list of the best games, the best kratom for gaming is subjective. Each person is going to have different needs, and a different experience.

Generally speaking, however, green vein and white vein kratom strains are believed to be better at providing an energy boost. That makes them a great choice for a more upbeat game session.

Red vein kratom is reported to be more relaxing. This could be a good option if you’re really looking to unwind with a slower-paced game.
