Explain a Video Game to Someone Who Has Never Played One

Your mum wants to know what you spend your evenings doing and 'it is like, you build things and there is combat' is not landing. Explaining games to non-gamers is a specific skill. This writes the explanation from their reference point: what you are actually doing, what the goal is, and one analogy that makes the concept land without requiring any background.
