> I second this. Puzzle Quest and PQ2 both had really fun minigames that would be a refreshing change of pace here. As usual, the trick is balancing the rewards to make them optional and not essential.

Fun Fact… they almost never made it into PQ.  
They were originally games that looked a lot like poker machines, with a very random outcome.

I was very unhappy with them, and with about 1 month to go on the project we rewrote them into their current form. Our poor producer on the publisher side almost had a heart attack, but it turned out the new games were a lot of fun, so they stayed!
