Hmm.  I like the idea of a number of different mini-games.  Final Fantasy
VII was particularly good at this, as there were activities that were part
of the story (bike chase, sub chase, skiing), which were then unlocked at
an arcade to be played whenever the player liked.

I'd like to have the board game as a common feature in all parts of the
world, but having other small mini-games, such as racing, or Soko's Barn
(I must admit I've never played sokoban) on the side.

I'd also like to have another, simpler game using the reagents, too.  That
way, we could save the main minigame and several of the others for the
actual release of Adonthell, while the simpler one(s) could be part of
whatever demos are released between now and then.

Hm.  Maybe racing could be a popular sport.

That could work along the same lines.  Wasn't there a similar timer thing
in Chrono Trigger?
