Can we have Mini Games eventually added to the game?

  • RickyRogueX

    So far i have enjoyed the Pirate life in Sea of Thieves. I have stolen booty, dug up treasures, Delivered goods, killed skeletons, and even played in a 4 piece band... But at the end of the day, i still feel like there should be more. And as i continue to sail with my crew, i hope to see some small additions like Mini Games added. Here is a few ideas i thought would be amazing to add to the game.

    1. Shut The Box - If you are unaware of this game, don’t worry... i only recently discovered it too. Ill leave a link to a YouTube video to explain how the game is played better (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVF2WC_iVGo). But this is a game originally played on French Ships coming to America during the Colonial Age. Its also a British Pub game that became more popular in the early 1900s. This fits right with the theme the world of Sea of Thieves is going for. I can see buying the game from the Merchants Alliance after you reach a certain lvl and have it in the captain’s quarters on any ship. You can place wagers (if slight gambling is ok. Its a pretty touchy subject now) or just have your crew play while waiting to get to their next destination. And with up to 4 players able to play, it fits with the invite system already in place!

    2. War (Card Game) - Once you start your adventure, you find yourself in the local tavern... then you never go there again... Well if we had a game of cards with either an NPC or other players, people would flock to port to sell their treasures and get in on a game of WAR! Let there be a buy in so that the winner can get some more gold... and possible a sword in the gut... all while doing something different then raiding and selling.

    3. Target Range - Pick an island, or a port. Set up a Target game similar to the ones in Legend of Zelda or the tutorial of Fable. Win enough times, maybe get something nice or a bit of gold. Maybe have people attempt to play after a few grog's in them. You can also set up different carnival games similar to that at each post so there is a reason to travel across the sea besides selling Porky at a high price.

    4. Scavenger Hunt - There is so much to see in the Sea of Thieves! Ancient spires, cave paintings, old wrecks, and abandoned camps. Its truly a wonder to walk on any island to see the small details hidden all around... So why dont we have some way to showcase them!? Sure the riddle maps help a bit, but why not have a scavenger hunt where you track down paintings and ruins and statues and other things! Make it at the end there is a special prize. Like a trophy for people to see or just gold… I do like gold…

    5. SHIP RACES – Do I need to explain… SHIP! RACES! I don’t know how you would want to set this up, but we got to have this. Be able to race other pirates to the other side of the map. Or race to grab a chest or something and bring it back. How does that not sound amazing!

    These are just some ideas I wanted to get out there. I hope you guys agree or have even more ideas for mini games to be implemented. Obviously I don’t expect these to be introduced so soon (or at all), but it would bother me to no end if I didn’t take the chance to get this out there because so far I love what the game offers, but there needs to be more to hold on to players attention. There will come a time where the grind will not be worth it, and its mini games that will keep people coming back… at least in my opinion.

    Hope your hearing this Rare!

    At least a dice and/or card game where players could wager in game money.

    RARE did mention it in the Reddit AMA, it's something on their radar if I remember well.

    Sometimes hostility is not the answer, try racing a ship to see who's the faster.

    There's an achievement for racing already, not sure how it works though.

    Ah, i didn't notice that, but i was going for a in game award kind of mini game then an achievement based one. I like achieves as much as the next person, but i prefer something with more tangible value in game.

    @rickyroguex I understand, just wanted to throw it out there that at least someone at Rare thought of some of these ideas already, and maybe just maybe it will come at a later date. Such as racing having clearly defined start/finish lines or some such. I don't like the idea of games offering rewards that can't be earned elsewhere, as I personally won't enjoy the mini games and would still like access to such rewards, so I would vote for the reward being gold, it would be more inclusive that way. Might would have to include a cool down to avoid people "farming" mini games for gold so IDK.

    A deathmatch mini game or even a battle royale game if you wanted to get crazy. That could be cool, but it would be interesting if there was a way to where you could just fight others in a controlled area like: Call of Duty, Halo, Fortnite, and etc.
