Back to the mini games :D

If we want to go with a strategic long card game, our best bet would probably be something similar to Magic the Gathering. You know, the original card collecting game. It\'s really quite cool, though I\'ve never taken the time to learn it fully.

But, we might want to go with something simple, easy to learn, and fun. I remember a card game from Tales of Destiny 2 which was very nice, simple, quick, but fun. I forget exactly how it was played...

Or, we could do both Maybe we could have the same card decks for both types of games, because they both play with cards which have monsters with attack/defence points.

Yeah, magic like card game. I played that for a year or three, but then i started selling my cards because it was getting so bloody expensive. I\'d like to see this in game, as well as the marbles, as well as the barfights. I think you should be able to play a game without betting for once, it\'s an option you might be able to select before playing a minigame. you slect the person you want to invite to play with, you select the game, and tnen something like \"play for money ?\" pops onto your scren, and you should be able to say no. Both peope should say yes before a gambling element is added to the game. You can then putting money on the game, and voila: you\'re playing.

Basically what I\'m suggesting is a very simple minigame menu, containing the different types of games, an invite player section, play for money, etc... You could add this mini-game window somewhere near to your chat window...

I\'d like to see it these things myself, I\'d love to see poker tables in game, but I wouldn\'t wanna see em wasted, on ac, they have chess now, but no one ever plays it, I love chess, but I can never find anyone to play with cause no one\'s interested in it... a magic style game would be cool too, but they would have to write up rules, and all that, and they have enough on their plates as it is... now if someone were to write up a game to include, with rules, leaving few details out, but willing to let them make any changes they see fit, it might make things more manageable for them.

on the topic of mini games a fun basic mini game that could also improve your running skills could be tip yes Tip I used to play this in atomic blue but i can\'t now because there are to many people on that look alike so maybe I would like to see say a group of players group and then one of them offers to play Tip \\play Tip then the others accept his offer who want to play.

Then the person who offered to play gets a flag with a symbol on it and he is in the others get blank flags they get 10secs to run away and when they get tipped there flag also gets a symbol on it. and every game of tip has a different colour flag so as not to get confused with other games of tip

[Skain]

whats tip? ive never heard of it, is it same as tiggy?

(m from Yorkshire so if it aint got a ee by gum in it i daant know what tha talkin\' boot)

[kyp14]

well it does have other names like Tag and if you don\'t understand that the basic concept of the game is you have a group of people one of them is in the must tip or tag whatever you want to call it the other people when they are tipped or tagged they join the player intrying to get the other players and tagging or tipping them untill either everyone is tipped or untill there is only one person left and they the last person left or tipped is in

[Caldazar]

What about the almighty Tic-Tac-Toe? Or Chess?
Perhaps a little to non-fantasy..

[Sakiro A.]

Well, Chess has been around for 1500 years. Maybe a chess-like variant?

[Mudder22]

A card game like the one in FFVIII would be great. Then when you won you would be able to pick one of the opponants (i know i spelled it wrong) cards. Then if you got a glimmering card with a \"Strong\" Creature on it, you would be able to summon the creature once a day. but only the glimmering cards. Then the different glimmer cards would have different abilitys. such as Full heal and Pure magic. like spells you cant learn as a human but only the cards had.

[Fanomatic2000]

How about a cross between a card-game and reality?
You could actually summon the creatures you see on your card and play as them.
Something like in battle-chess where you get a chance to whack the enemy, even if he attacked you first. A card-game that includes both logic and brute force. Or perhaps a dynamic game like kung-fu chess? You\'ll never have to wait for your turn

should add an icon to the inventory that says \"cards\"
when u click that a list of people that also hit the buttons be on the screen. u select someone you want to play with. when u select someone both of ur names leave the list if both players have chosen to play. both of yall should be transported to a pitch black room with a big stone playing field and play YU-GI-OH (lol) or something as simple as yu-gi-oh u should be able to buy cards from the store, and by and trade with people in the planeshift game.

Hey hey don\'t forget dices!
Some 3-dice game would be fast and easy to play. Bet your money/stuff for a game and the winner gets it all. I think it might be easy to implement too.

[Fish]

I like the card game idea a lot.  It would be nice if some of the monsters dropped some of the cards.  Say the monster dropped the card with its face on it.  Or dropped the card that had one of its touted abilities with it.

But we need to do here\'s come up with some decent rules.  Say a monster has an armor class hit points in damage ability in line with the game.  Other cards can have spells on them that are used in the game as well.  Then you would have gem cards that would have to be paid to pull out the other cards.  Each gem cost would be labeled on the card you want to play.

Well it\'s a beginning anyway.

[tygerwilde]

the cards could be done by clicking on special tables in bars, you sit down, when you get four players, it draws everyone a hand, and the game goes from there, could even be a special set of emotes or automatic animations, you know?
I think poker would be a lot more difficult online, cause you can\'t watch other players facial contortions or nervous habits...

[Bombyz]

Theres all of that, but what about racing? Ground and air, if they get transportation in planeshift, then you could challenge someone to a race if they have a trained transport. if they accept, they appear on a hill far away. the first person to reach town wins. You can try to slow the other racer down by using attacks, etc.
(Example)
Player 1: hey! I\'m bored, wanna race?
Player 2: Sure!
*they both appear on hill with their bug like trained monsters*
*they race and reach the half point, when player one casts stun on player 2\'s monster.*
*Player 1 reaches finish, and player 2 waits for stun to come off*
