My favourite mini game is absolutely Scopa. So much fun to play, I understand though it can get frustrating if you lose a lot. I like Difference Detective least. Some of the differences were hard to spot and I always got stuck at it.
Wow... it finally happened.... I think it's a first.... but I'm afraid I completely disagree with you! 🤣 Saying that it's for two reasons. Your video has made me realise I absolutely hate mini games, especially senet, scopa, bul, gold rush, monster, raid.... (and I do not use the word hate lightly). My other reason is that the two games in this list I absolutely love (for the logic) are Land Rush and Aggregation. I just play those over and over again! Very interesting video WK and made me learn something about myself that i didn't know!
@@WizardKittenYT I think half of it is also you play against a computer. I'd enjoy Scopa, Raid and maybe even Monster in RL. Still I love your video made me realise my dislike of minigames, shows that your analysis really is an analysis, not just of games but also of players!
Model match/petroglyph punch & Aggregation being put at the very bottom gave me a really lovely sense of satisfaction lol. My personal faves are Raid & Monster. I have a save file in Captive Curse specifically for returning and playing both of those (with the card Nancy helped make for Raid).
Scopa is the ultimate favourite of mine! I am very bad at card games but I always enjoy playing against Enrico haha Also I didn't really understand the hate around Fox and geese until I replayed ICE a few weeks ago and had to play fox and geese again and again for about two hours ughh Hated every minute of it Thank you so much for another great analysis
@@WizardKittenYT Okay, if you can do the slider puzzles for me. That's the one that gives me fits. I know it's not really that difficult, and there's an easy trick to it that I've just got a blind spot to.
I must take issue with this video! 😂 Games I love that you don’t: Land Rush (use the glitch to get tons of coins and be able to buy that mystery box from Pa!), Scopa, Aggregation, Mini Golf (so fun! Just save after every hole and you can keep playing one hole until you get par without having to play all of them again) Games I hate that you like: Bul, Difference Detective, Senet, Wiki Tiki, Air Hockey I also very much dislike Barnacle Blast, which you said was “meh”.
What about the typing mini game in blackmore? What about the match making one in waverly, or the snack shop? Theres more mini games in haunted carosel than you mentioned. And there are knowledge mini games in sea of darkness. What is the classification for a mini game? Cause i am not sure where to stop.
You have a really good voice, but this feels very arbitrary. All games are there for progression (some kind). So basically they are ranked on how fun you think they are. Totally agree with you that games based on luck should be in the bottom. My criterias are if they are purely based on luck or require you to think., if they are related to the theme (scopa - italy), and if they have a story (golf games or the bow and arrow game are a no for me
Scopa seems to cheat. At least the mini-game version of it that used to be on HER's website was much, much easier to beat. Scopa, by the way, must be pronounced "Scope...a", with a pause in the middle, like the way Mel Blanc always paused when saying "Anaheim, Azusa, and Cuc... amonga." Petroglyph Punch was fun, but the version in Danger by Design was awful (the tiles were too similar). RAID would be fun if it had more cards. Monkey Shooting Gallery is fun on Junior Detective. Barnacle Blast (a direct copy of the old video game "Breakout") has the same problem Breakout had (really tough and tedious to get those last few tiles). Bul and Senet are about as fun as Parcheesi (i.e. just a dice rolling exercise). Mini Golf is very easy if you just save frequently (make that VERY frequently). The real advantage of some of these is when you're stuck in a game, don't want to consult a walkthrough, but just want to play something light for a few minutes, while you think about the game. (Petroglyph Punch was great for that). Something else that should be looked at are the phone games that were included only in the Special Editions of the game, but can be turned on in any version through the secret console. Of those, we often play Seeds of Persephone (found only in Sea of Darkness), and Double Take (found in almost all of them). I still have a save game of Sea of Darkness that I saved when it gave me a Persephone game with no Red pellets.

Fair! Scopa is definitely fun!
I get addicted to aggregation once I get up to the more complicated levels 😅
Well that's good!! I wish I liked it more, lol!

Lmao!! It was bound to happen at some point! 😅 I definitely get not liking mini games though. They tend to district from everything else.

I love Scopa. That was a lot of fun. I would love to play irl!
I would love to play it IRL too!

LOVED raid!! Hated Monster tho 😮
As a person not into STEM, I can safely say that aggregation is my favorite part of deadly device
Lol, that's fair!
just found your channel and im loving these videos!!
Hooray!! Welcome!
This was interesting. I immediately thought of the dreaded mini golf. Lol
I looked back at the par scores on Senior Detective and OOF. Nightmare 🫠
I can't believe you put Scopa below Bul.
I knew I'd get a lot of heat for my Scopa placement, lol! 🙈
I love new video Wednesdays!!
Video idea since it's Academic Nancy Summer: Ranking the games in order of how much they teach about the game's subject.
Ooh yes! I've done a top 5 most educational before, but I haven't ranked all of them!
My partner and I now play Scopa when we go out for tacos. Love it!
I would 100% love to play Scopa irl! That's so fun!
Scopa and Raid are my favorites.
Great games!!
my fav is skull & bones 💀 raid ✨ & air hockey 🥅
All so fun!!
I absolutely love Aggregation, and I f’ing Hate Raid, funny how different peoples tastes can be!
@@tigathon truly!! 😁
Can't think of a better way to start my day thelan with a Wizard Kitten video. My favorites are Skull and Bones, Bul, and Scopa.
Yay!! I'm so glad you like them 😄
Love Skull & Bones and Scopa, and some Land Rush and Raid. I hate the Betty card machine because I still don't know how it works lol
It works exactly like Skull and Bones! 😊
Scopa is the ultimate favourite of mine! I am very bad at card games but I always enjoy playing against Enrico haha Also I didn't really understand the hate around Fox and geese until I replayed ICE a few weeks ago and had to play fox and geese again and again for about two hours ughh Hated every minute of it
Thank you so much for another great analysis
Yes! It's the repetition of Fox and Geese that makes it 🫠🥴☠️
I so look forward to these on Wednesdays 🎉
I'm so happy to hear that! Enjoy!!
My favorite mini games are Aggregation, Scopa, and Fox and Geese. 😂
Fox and Geese is fine as long as you get to play the Geese.
Lmao! I'll call you in to play them for me from now on 😂
Are you my brother? Lol. Those are his favorites.

@@TheCompanyRepresentative Keyboard SMASH!! I think I once got over 100 words per minute.
@TheCompanyRepresentative I think snack shop is in the category of cooking challenge.
@@stacyk123 ok. It's hard to tell. And that's a great time good job!
I clarified in the video, but it has to be competitive, almost always in the form of another person.
@@WizardKittenYT the Waverly matching game updated beat scores after you win. That's competitive
Ok but shitting on Leela and making her lose every time is my favorite. I will waste all the time winning these games against her 😂
TIL the right pronunciation for Bul! 😅
