That IS cute... :)

But I was thinking more along the lines of activities such as Resource 
Collection - in an RTS, I tell my drones to go collect Foofoo Dust from the 
Pixie Forest. They sweep up the Foofoo Dust in little burlap baggies and bring 
it back for processing. In the meantime, I'm using the collected Foofoo Dust to 
build a Stench Goblin to send after the enemy commander. It's fun to send 
Stench Goblins after enemy commanders. Sweeping Foofoo Dust into burlap bags, 
not so much. ;)

Now, sweeping Stench Goblins into burlap bags... I would play that game. But I 
digress.

  On a related point, check out the community of BrettSpielWelt - there's a 
game world, and if you don't want to join in with that you can just go there to 
play board games.  However, if you care about the game world, you realise that 
games you do well in earn money and resources for your hometown, and they in 
turn have to spend resources to keep the community housed, clothed and fed.

  How do they turn material into cloth?  The people "work" the mil - the mill 
being a memory game like Simon.  It opens for business on the hour every hour, 
but if no-one works it no cloth is made.  Neat little system if you ask me - 
makes being a janitor fun :D
