@seriouspony what do you actually do every minute in a game? Is doing *that* intrinsically engaging? Nail that, or all else is irrelevant.

@seriouspony Greatest games are fun in each individual encounter, even repeated over and over, because the core mechanics are so solid.

Jeff Atwood

@seriouspony hmm. Without compelling mechanics, the game simply isn't fun to play. There can be more but this is bedrock.
