Game industry website Edge talks details and plans of Project Mind Twist with Richard Garfield and Randy Buehler. They reveal aspects of Mind Twist's setting, hash over the social aspect, discuss luck vs. skill and more. Here's an excerpt:: Edge Online: Mind Twist is described as a game for players who "like to think," but a lot of the games that have thrived on Facebook are not thinking games.; Richard Garfield: That’s right. Oftentimes when I approach a new platform, what I’m trying to do is address something which I think is missing. So the non-thinking game player, they’re being very well catered to right now. But there’s a whole other market [for] somebody who wants to play a game a little more analogous to a Magic: the Gathering or something like that.; Randy Buehler: There are a million grinding games out there, so part of this is an anti-grinding moment. But there are also a million twitch/dexterity-type games, and – I just want a good turn-based strategy game, where I can take my time to think about what I want to do. It comes down to how quickly and how accurately I can think, not how quickly and how accurately I can push a button.
