5. Destructive worms

This minigame allows you to play as a giant worm and kill all the enemies in the level — basically, you play as a cartoony version of the monster from tremors. However, you can only control the worm while in dirt, so you have to be clever with how to handle the other enemies.

8. Anvilanche!

This minigame is a lot of fun with friends! You are given throwable items that will summon blocks that come down and squash your opponents. What’s really cool is the fact that if a game goes on for a long time the arena is just constantly changing, providing cover, towers, and the like. A strategist’s dream — or nightmare depending on how you look at it.

9. Logic&Elves

In this minigame, you must give different colored gifts to elves who request a random gift, but incidentally, they speak in riddles such as “If and only if the color of the day is green, I want a red gift or a blue gift.”

This can be played with as many people you want, even by yourself. However you should not exceed four players if you don’t have to as cooperation only stretches to four people, all the extras would just be brains.
