> I just don't get it. What is the fascination with this game?

- Pokemon brand.  Players are familiar with the concept, or fans even.
  That makes it easier to grab the game.

- Augmented reality.  Use of location and cameras is a new way of
  playing, especially to those who haven't tried Ingress, which is
  another game from the same publisher as Go's.  The characters won't
  feel as virtual when you can see them on the map and in the places of
  your neighbourhood.

- Hype.  All your friends are playing it, so you should try it too!
