I totally agree that there needs to be more “gaming” (verb) of Facebook’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’re on the same page here. Any brilliant ideas?

Good classification! I’ve been crowing about flat and shallow games on FB for months now, and looking for a good way to explain them.

I’m looking for the deep games that exploit the fact that they’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’t make it as easy as it should, but I’m surprised we haven’t seen more games that reward you for adding friends to your profile or uploading photos of dogs. Heck, even porting iminlikewithyou’s “games” (ironic quotes!) would up the ante for games that live natively in Facebook.
