So, I will check out this game but I suspect, the player does feel a reward for that "work" he has to do "later." That may very well still be seen as reward. Otherwise, what exactly is a game? Just walking around collecting stuff we are entitled to, if it's all given an automatic, I am not sure how that will hold attention for long. Anyway, I'll just have to see the game.

He got my attention when he described his inspiration for the game as coming from a 2-player board game called Crossfire where each player had to fire at a puck in the centre of the board and knock it into their opponent’s goal. Sort of like Air Hockey, except you shoot ball bearings at stuff. Anyway, the Crossfire ad was fantastic, and although the game he’s created doesn’t have that same 80s nostalgia sheen (looking more like a Pearl and Dean sting), it looked like a fun party game, meant to be played with friends around the living room or down the pub.
