This sounds useful but not like fun or like a game.
It doesn't sound like fun to you, which implies you didn't try it. FWIW, everyone who participated in the game thought that was one of the most fun meetups we have had to date. I greatly enjoyed the activity myself. The fast pace kept everyone fully engaged in the activity, and the rotating topic kept the conversation from getting bogged down. Cognitive biases are a topic of interest for our rationalist group, doing this alone instead of with a group of friends might indeed be less fun, but as you pointed out still quite useful.
Seconded - I was one of the participants and it was, indeed, fun. There were plenty of laughs, and even if there hadn't been, hanging out with good people and learning counts as fun in my book.
I think this was more of a preliminary brainstorm. Making games would require a lot of people-hours of work. Although a good idea! (Possible birthday present for family member = java applet rationality game?)
