I came up with this simple idea when reading the minigame thread and wanted to get more people's input and further elaborate. If you do not know of the Gwent card game in Witcher 3, it was a pretty awesome and simple card game where two players duel placing cards in one of the three spots on the "battlefield" using their own custom strategy based on their deck build. The person with more points accumulated from the cards wins. The wiki is listed below: witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Gwent I am not trying to promote Gwent or the Witcher 3, but I thought a derivative of this could fit in the Mass Effect Universe. In the Witcher, you have to collect, find, purchase, or win new Cards to build the ultimate deck. The five decks include various characters, races, beasts, elements, leaders, etc. I was thinking that Mass Effect could "holocards" or "holodecks". You would lay down or insert a "holocard" on a hologram board, and that character, monster, alien, weather effect, buff, etc would appear in 3D form. The hologram idea came from that classic Star Wars Scene shown below: There could obviously be changes made to make the mini game more unique (which I would like to hear your ideas), but the main appeal to this for me is the collecting aspect to build an ultimate set. And then taking my collection and earning a ton of "credits" from the tournaments. Would be cool to play against companions on the Tempest, at outposts against various npcs, and at the bar or other social spaces on the Nexus. It's definitely too late to get this in the vanilla game of ME: Andromeda, but it would be cool to have it added in the base game and expansions as dlc content. Thoughts?

Meh, I liked the Witcher 3, but I am not a fan of Gwent, nor Quasar or Pazaak. I personally don't like card games in general.
Instead, I'd like to see the Armax Arena return, that was a fun mini-game.

Holographic Three-Dimensional Chess and or Checkers. This looks like a form of mahjong. Although for some reason another phrase enters my mind: "Got to catch them all."

Instead, I'd like to see the Armax Arena return, that was a fun mini-game. The Armax Arena looks cool, but I never played it. My only gripe is it looks like more of the same in terms of playing multiplayer or just general combat. Never a bad thing, but I want more diversity in things to do and collect.

Anything even remotely like Gwent I think I would love. Gwent was so good for a mini game and was a great surprise. Hopefully this game can have some addictive mini games to sink some hours into away from all the usual things

My favorite part about the Armax Arena was having a place to test out party comps and weapons in a repeatable environment. There was also a tangible reward for becoming the best. ME:A's environments will most likely contain re-spawning enemies so it may not be as important to have now.

So much so, that I spent more time playing that, than the actual game.

The gwent game is amazing ( on beta right now) but i wonder how that would work on a mass effect theme.

You could just collect characters for decks...Cerberus Deck, Alliance Deck, Enemies Deck, and random Buff cards or chips (include Turians, Salarians, Geth, Kett, Planetary Elements like freezing or toxic air). Either have a designated hologram board that provides a 3d image of the characters who do like a one animation move pokemon style. Or speaking of Pokemon, it could be closer to pokemon go where have to collect the characters, but you use your omnitool to project the hologram images to battle against your opponent.

More complex form of Kapesh-Yakshi. Maybe not same name, but story of being derived from it, allowing Bioware to make whatever rules for it (and Andromedan identity).
Have pre-ME1, ME1, ME2, MEA theme basis but maybe ME3 later ('expansion') if MEA DLC may have us reconnect with what's up there.
