A very good point! This is what the generic media idea of Tiki is nowadays: "Just fun!" And you are right, it is FUN...but not JUST. It is FUN made into an ART FORM, a funny yet highly sophisticated and complex game with so many facets and such depth that it continuously surprises the beholder with its myriad of unique concepts and creations. Treating it as "Just a fun thing" is dulling the diamond that Tiki really is. Any good game has some rules, and if we do not care to respect them, the game is no more... FUN!
