    You start with nothing, and the game is sort of like... blocks.

    Anyways, you go and you "mine" a block.

    You can mine the dirt, you can mine the rock, you can mine the wood.

    Once you have these "materials" you can combine them to make something, So you can build anything you want and combine things to create new things. It is like playing in the sandbox, but you have an unlimited number of toys at your disposal.

    This game is a very creative game because your kids can build anything they want. They play a lot because it takes a long time to build buildings or whatever they build. But don't let them play all day it seems like one of the most addictive games in america.
