Do you play Minecraft? Does your brother/sister play? Is your son/daughter into Minecraft?
These questions have become icebreakers today.
It's incredible how such a strange game garners so much attention. I bet it has to do with the creative aspect of the game; there is plenty of freedom! It's sort of like Legos in the way that you have to assemble the blocks to create the structure. You also have to use a little imagination to innovate, using stairs to make chairs and pistons to make tables.
Minecraft isn't rigid, so it never gets redundant or boring. You never run out of things to do.
There's no aggression or violence- just enjoyable playing. People can relate to the game, be it their latest masterpiece or about how obsessed their child is with it. Maybe that's why it's so great.
