Rate the Mini Games!

My favorite is the card game; I don't care if it's small, medium or large. I feel that playing games where I have to remember where each card is, is good for keeping my memory sharp.

My second favorite is the pipes. The trick to that, True, is start from the bottom. Also, there are only a limited number of patterns, so once you learn them, you learn to recognize which one it is. Some of them unfortunately take a while for the water to go through the pipes (and you can't minimize the page, or switch to another browser tab, or the water stops flowing), and I sometimes don't want to take the time. So when it's one of those, I will refresh for something else.

The match 3 is fun, and I play it sometimes. I usually prefer the smaller boards.

I love the snow game, at least in the Christmas present format. Even though it takes a little longer than most of the games that I play, I like the graphics for it. Although sometimes I won't play it when I'm pressed for time.

The ones I never play are the picnic (hidden object) game, and the stepping stones. Even though I know where all the objects are in the picnic page, sometimes when I click the correct object, it says I didn't, and then I have to start over. I HATE that, so I just won't bother with that game anymore. The stepping stones used to be one of my favorites, but I just haven't played it in a while, I'm not sure why.

I also don't play the new one that often. I don't like how random it is. Sometimes I have all but one or two flowers, and then I have to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, until the final flower(s) come up. My best friend gets frustrated with it, because on her computer her mouse is either unreliable or slow, not sure which, but she can almost never click the flowers in time.

Mine are:

Favorites:
pipe game
card game

OK:
Stepping Stones
Match three
Hidden Objects
the new game (match the silhouette of the plant)

Never Play:
Snowing game (or the Santa one)

Favourite (never re-roll)
Find pairs (any size)
Match 3 (any size, but bigger the better. I really like the one with all the flowers)
Hidden Objects (even though I have no idea what Zwieback is, I know where it is And it's crucial to know the difference between a rabbit and a hare)

OK (re-roll if in a hurry)
Stepping stone
Pipe (The game itself is fun however the wait for the water to run through...)
Shadow (I also don't like the wait of the last few flowers)

Never play (always re-roll)
Snow/Santa game (it just takes too much time!)

Favorite -
Hidden Objects - (Zwieback is a dry cracker)
Match 3
Pipes
Stepping Stones

Sometimes -
Cards / Find Pairs

Never -
Snow
Shadow

Favorite - Shadow flower game, flipping cards, pipes, stones, match game.

OK, but would rather play favorites - Star and/or falling presents.

Never play - Picnic game, but sometimes I do, just not very often.

As for waiting for the shadow flower game to circle around, if you click in the center, it will instantly change the flower to something else. Just keep clicking until you get what you want.

WOW, gota try that, clicking in the center to get a new flower. One reason I don't like it, is the waiting for the right flower to show.
Thanks.

Favourites
~ Pipes
~ Shadow
~ Stepping stones

Ok, but rather play favourites
~ Match 3 (any size)
~ Picnic/find hidden objects
~ Pairs (any size)

Never play (unless I'm on computer and have time)
~ Snow/Santa game

I'm mostly playing the games with my phone and the falling game isn't very easy with it. I don't usually re-roll the others even if I'm in hurry

Favourites:
- Memory (I like all the sizes)
- Stepping Stones (It's quick and easy)
- Flower Shadows (Also quick and easy)
OK:
- Match 3 (smaller sizes are ok, but the large one can be frustrating when I just need to match one last kind and they're not generating)

Never play:
- Falling Game (It takes too long and the movement is kinda bad)
- Hidden Object (I hate how it undoes everything when you misclick)
- Pipes (The water is infuriatingly slow going through the pipes and you can't even go to a different tab, also 2/3 of the time it's the pipe going straight down so it's not even a challenge)

EDIT: I tried the clicking in the center thing in shadow and it worked. So the game has ranked up for me.

It all depends on the device - on the computer I like and play all of them. On the tablet - falling snow is out of question, navigating the basket is too difficult, and hidden object is also harder on the smaller screen. OTOH flower shadows seems to be made just for this device.

I agree, True, I hadn't known about clicking in the center. I tried it today, and it worked like a charm, so the game wasn't frustrating like it has been in the past.

Favourite (never re-roll)
Pipe (I love these games, but waiting for the water sometimes results in not finishing the game because I clicked somewhere else and it stops)
Find pairs (small and medium)
Stepping stone

OK (re-roll if in a hurry)
Shadow
Find pairs (big)
Match 3
Hidden Objects

Never play (always re-roll)
Snow/Santa game (I don't managa to collect the correct things... Maybe I should try again...)

Quote from Ehlana

Snow/Santa game (I don't managa to collect the correct things... Maybe I should try again...)

The only things to avoid are the bundles of sticks. All the gifts, candies, cookies, and baubles give you points; the sticks take points away.

At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. I tend to focus on the gifts, which give more points than the other things, and I avoid the sticks, and it doesn't take me too long to complete that game.

well, I like playing almost all of them.
my least favorite is the snow one, and only because it's horribly laggy and that's annoying to deal with.
other than that, I'm not the biggest fan of the pipes game.
the big version of the memory game is annoying, but I like that game in general.

I tried the Snow/Santa game again today. It's reacting very slowly (5 seconds from one side to the other) and that's why I'm always collecting the wrong things.. This way, I need at least five minutes till I finish.

I had 3 different paths for the pipe! Never had 3, sometimes 2.

sroo: That is interesting. I had always figured there was only one answer, but you're right; it's very clear that you can solve that particular layout three different ways.

(And now that I've seen a faster path than I've always known about before, it won't take as long for the water to go down anymore.)
