		<description>I totally agree that there needs to be more &quot;gaming&quot; (verb) of Facebook&#039;s benign elements. I want a game that makes me think differently about the kind of friends I add, or the frequency with which I update my profile.

In short, less Facebook-ized versions of classic board and social games; more original games built around social interaction. Clearly we&#039;re on the same page here. Any brilliant ideas?</description>

		<description>Good classification! I&#039;ve been crowing about flat and shallow games on FB for months now, and looking for a good way to explain them.

I&#039;m looking for the deep games that exploit the fact that they&#039;re living on a social network for gameplay itself, rather than skinning things like pokes (in the case of infection games) or chicken (like Parking Wars). The API doesn&#039;t make it as easy as it should, but I&#039;m surprised we haven&#039;t seen more games that reward you for adding friends to your profile or uploading photos of dogs. Heck, even porting iminlikewithyou&#039;s &quot;games&quot; (ironic quotes!) would up the ante for games that live natively in Facebook.</description>
