Actually, this discussion is a very carefully planned strategy of FIRST to get everyone thinking creatively. This gets the "brainstorming" process started before you get the game. This strategy is typical of many groups trying to get into the process; "Begin brainstorming on something non-critical to break down mental barriers, and open up the ideas and creativity. Once that is accomplished, move onto the topic that truly needs to be analyzed."
Whether you realize it or not, you have already begun "playing the game".
