Mini games are fun activities that add a different style and layer of gaming to the MMO feel of GW2. You'll be reminded of platform games, sports games, first person shooters, and games of chance...without leaving Tyria!!!!
Crab Toss† (Lion's Arch rotation) (Southsun Cove) - This is apparently how Southsun settlers blow off steam...which is ironic as this game can make you boil with rage xD.
Grab the crab! You earn points by picking it up, holding onto it and stealing it from other players.
Beware though, Hungry karka want in on the action. Avoid them, or better yet, use them to your advantage. Bonus points for manipulating karka into eliminating other players!
This is the one game where having crabs is beneficial!!! Remember to wear lip balm also...that crab wang goes everywhere!

Keg Brawl† (Hoelbrak and Lion's Arch rotation) - Keg Brawl is basically the Norn interpretation of basketball with kegs rather than balls and a lot of beating the crap out of each other!
Two teams of five are matched for a game. Each team gets skills which allow
them to brawl the other team, such as punching, kicking and knocking each other over. A keg is launched into the middle of the playing area and the objective for the team is to get the keg to their 'brewer'. The aim is to get as many kegs back as possible. The team which scores 11 first or has more points when time ends wins.
When the keg is picked up you get new skills which allow you to pour ale on
the ground which makes it slippery or pass the keg!! You can also throw your keg to your teams brewer to score!

Sanctum Sprint† (Lion's Arch rotation) - Is a Sonic the Hedgehog style race...up a very tall mountain....The race features the use of the aspect skills and power-ups to disable enemies and protect yourself as you fight to make your way to the top of the mountain, where a chest with phat loot awaits!!
The race isn't over till the last person finishes, so if you're first, there is time for coffee :P

Southsun Survival† (Lion's Arch rotation) - Hunger Games anyone? Battle Royale perhaps? This activity is a free-for-all PvP in which you attempt to be the last survivor. Players begin the match immobilized, circling a stockpile of resources and weapons. Once the announcement ends, players are free to grab whatever they can and are allowed to attack each other or run to safety. A key mechanic in the activity is the ever-present hunger debuff. This will slowly reduce the player's health over time and becomes more powerful as the event progresses. The only way to heal is by consuming rations looted from boxes or recently dead
players.
Interestlingly this mini game was called Hunger Royale in the beta xD...

Belcher's Bluff (anywhere, via Belcher's Bluff Kits) - The heavy drinkers game of choice...Belcher's Bluff is an activity where players must bluff their opponent into
intoxication by drinking raw omnomberry juice. Before you can challenge Poyaqui,
Grandmaster of the Order of Om, you must face five other Masters of Om located
in the major cities of Tyria. You can also play Belchers Bluff against your friends!
Beating the 5 race NPC's in the home instances of each city gives you new skills to bluff your opponents into an incoherent babbling mess !!!

Betting
Cattlepult betting (Diessa Plateau) - After an event ends successfully near this npc, Mad Mardine will want to have some fun by launching cows and allowing the player to bet on how far they will go, with a chance to win a Flying Cow Token which can be sold for 1g. The offer to bet does not appear if the character has less than 50 silver in inventory.
It may seem a bit inhumane at first, but rest assured it's a totally viable way of distributing cattle across a large area...
