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
