There's zero educational value in designing and building digital circuits by hand? What?


Not zero. Near zero.

I think there's a difference between "gamification", i.e. doing tasks for currency, points or prizes, and "video gaming", i.e. creating a circuit so that your house door in Minecraft opens with a switch.
