Sounds like they enjoyed the process of building it. I would have appreciated more points at the end about recommendations for building.

The takeaways #1 and #2 at the end are about marketing. Sure, you didn't market it but who cares, was that the point? Either way I'm not interested in blockchain marketing. This is a learn by doing project.

Or are you trying to say the game is amazing? Seems like milliondollarhomepage on the blockchain.

Yes, it was fun to make – and similar to milliondollarhomepage. The building part was relatively easy, using the resources I mentioned. However, trying to get users – which would have been the really fun part – is probably 10X harder than actually writing the code. (If code is never (barely?) executed, is it really code?) :)

what part of this is a game?

At the moment, there's not much that is game like. I was thinking that if you had many people claiming tokens, then you might have factions that wanted to land grab from each other.
