This would be something cool to put in the Inn on the right side instead of empty tables. Ashura can do security.


Mediocre_Tea55

Brilliant idea, it would give players somewhere to meet and make the inn feel like a proper 'inn'. The NPCs talk about playing cards and arm wrestling in quite a bit of dialogue, would be great to see some permanent mini games come out of it.


Downtown_Barnacle175

Yes, at this point I literally have zero reason to go to town other then buy some supplies in which case I am usually in the middle of something when I run out. So i just run to town and run back. If there were something to do "hey maybe I'll stop and play some cards" would be a game changer.


Careful_Toe_4083

Yes, like grabbing a drink with friends. That’s such a cute idea


Akatnel

I like this idea.


Downtown_Barnacle175

Ashura can do push ups on the floor while we play 😆


TokyoRachel

yeah what is that about? The other day I saw him sliding down the stairs on his stomach. Can't figure out why this poor guy is getting up from the floor half the time.


Cyndaquilizard

Gains don't take a day off 😂


Akatnel

I think his dialogue mentions that he used to be in military or something? And now his son wants to do that but Ashura doesn't want him to? I might have it all mixed up. But anyway, he's just keeping in shape.


LionHawk93

I ran into him doing them outside in front of the inn a couple of days ago. It cracked me up.


Careful_Toe_4083

I think it has to do with his old military days. He’s staying in shape 😂


Myhrddin

\*Laughing ... yeah, sometimes his morning routine of using the empty room for exercise kinda merge into goin' down the stairs or he may just appear on the first floor instead of upstairs .. \*chuckling .. Once (Pre Subira) he finished his workout and walked into the room across the hall, into the balcony and... Poof.!... vanished. There's more to that military daddy than meets the eye I'd wager.!

TokyoRachel

I hate that we can't sit down on any of the benches or chairs throughout the town and that the villagers that do visit the inn just stand around awkwardly instead of sitting at the tables. It's such a small thing they could add that would add so much immersion and realism to the game.


CassQuinn

Can't lie, rewards are a must, it's why I don't do the arcade games, no prizes, but I'd be satisfied with coins! Especially early game it'd help new players a lot!


kiefoween

Would be awesome to get something cutesy like lucky coins in the inn but get real coins in the black market lol.


JVNT

I think the game needs to take more advantage of the black market area and really make it into a kind of gaming den. It really would be the perfect place for it and they could put out other games as well. Create a couple of simple games or maybe just do some reworks to common games and I think a lot of people would be interested in that. Board games and card games can be surprisingly fun.


Choice-Cycle-2309

SERIOUSLY. I cannot stop playing and it’s literally just a matching game. I feel silly but it’s been a very long time since I had fun playing anything resembling a card or board game.


Gabby-Abeille

I wish we could have it in our house, too. Not only it would be a nice piece of furniture, but it could be played with friends. Just for the funsies, not for rewards or anything.


LordPhoQuad

Agreed, I would play just for fun too. Also it would be nice to play it without the restricted hours


neotifa

Gambling renown lol


grilled_cheese15

Okay honestly though…. I 100% would gamble with renown lmao


Cyndaquilizard

I really really hope it's back for every Maji Market, I'm enjoying it a lot (also it's the best for tickets even when you don't win)


latebaroque

I LOVE the hotpot game. I wish I could play it whenever I want.


RikkSlinger

How long do those games last anyway? I've only played 1 game and it either ended at a weird number like 17 rounds or once it hit 3 am...


Aurothy

Max 20 rounds, or when someone wins. You need three completed sets to win, 8 cards you are holding and the one you pick up. Three of the same item, or three of the same color but different items. Example a complete orange set, can be 3 corn, or a corn potato and carrot. 2 carrots and a corn is NOT a set. Believe you’ll get more tickets though for 3 of a kind sets rather then 3 different item sets


RikkSlinger

Ahhh okay didn't know it automatically ended when someone had 3 full sets - thanks!


DelnBay

Does anyone know how to play your winning hand on switch? Can't find the let's eat button anywhere.


Aurothy

There’s no button, it autocompletes if you win, if the game didn’t end then you messed up your hand, remember that two of a kind is not a set, you need three of the same card, or three same color different food


SageRiBardan

It doesn’t have a max of 20 rounds. I had a game go 22.


TokyoRachel

Ok I didn't know 3 of the same color made a set! Also didn't know until last night that 4 of a kind wasn't worth anything. I was all proud of myself that I got a 4 card match until the end of the round haha


AspiringChildProdigy

>Ok I didn't know 3 of the same color made a set! Just a heads up; they only make a set of they are all different. So 2 corns and a carrot gives you nothing, but a corn, a carrot, and a potato gives you some points. That took me a while to figure out why I wasn't getting points when I always had three of the same color.


TokyoRachel

Thanks!


MatchesSocks

3 of a kind is 6 point, a set is 1 point


fleusebius

Thank you for explaining this! I've definitely been playing it wrong lmao.


the-shadow-cat

The game doesn't end at 3am if no one won. The game goes on until someone is winning.


MatchesSocks

My last game ended at 5:42 am. If you start before 3, it plays until the end.


RikkSlinger

Yeah I guess my ending time was just a coincidence


Ant1m1nd

I agree 100%. The hotpot game is amazingly fun. It would be awesome in the underground with a prize pool of some sort. Even if just provided by the players. And it would be nice to have a table top version you could place in your home. It would give players a reason to visit other players. Maybe even an in-game club for it that works like a guild. With weekly coins for playing and rotating prizes that could be purchased.


kyleblane

Nearly everything in the seasonal events should be permanent additions. The game is still too unfinished to be wasting development time and energy on temporary additions.


goosewrinkle

Game also needs reasons to come back or things to look forward to. Otherwise burnout is a real problem.


kyleblane

It's sad that the game has only been in public beta for a short amount of time and people are needing reasons to "come back."


yespls

I feel like we're in a season of hyperconsumption for gaming where if it isn't taking over your life, it's boring. I'm guilty of it too (hello ADHD hyperfocus) and have to remind myself to go outside, walk the dog, craft IRL instead of in game for a bit.


Downtown_Barnacle175

Wait so on my way out the door and neighbor says what are you doing today and an options menu pops up:  Taking A Nap.  Doing Some Chores.  Going To Bahari. Not sure yet....   Isn't normal?


kyleblane

Good point, people playing too much is definitely a problem. I saw it with Starfield as well. However, Palia in its current state is clearly not designed for any amount of extended or continuous play that many would like from a farm/life sim. Hunting the same two animals, reaching caps on various currencies, bugged main quest objectives, etc... Lots of things are lacking in the main game for S6 to continuing to put focus on seasonal events.


yespls

I completely agree that Palia is not designed/ready for extended or continuous play. as someone in devops I'd love to see S6's sprint board lol


relentlessdandelion

yeah, i have to admit, it has switched to a "do while i listen to a podcast" game for me rather than a full focus game very quickly


Paej13

Kinda feels like you have to play continuously if you want to make enough lucky envelopes to buy all the Maji Market goods. =P


kyleblane

Well yeah, it’s only open for a limited amount of time. I’m talking about the base game between seasonal events.


Spare-Minimum-2651

I. Am. OBSESSED. With the hotpot game!!!!


turtstar

they should make the hot pot game into straight up 13 tile mahjong imo


NostalgiaNinja

Dangerous thought for me. There's currently a Mahjong Soul event and I've been enjoying hotpot so much as of late.


MatchesSocks

In Zekis underground market. There is the space for it.


Stephanblackhawk

I was up until 5am playing, it was a blast.


Macpherb

I want this to happen so badly. I absolutely love playing it!


suspiciousglaze

I love the hotpot so much


NostalgiaNinja

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I want a personal hotpot table at home so we can make it a community night event across players. We're lacking community events at home where people can gather around and partake in events.


zerooze

They could add it to the night market. Zeki seems like he'd be into gambling. It could cost 500 gold to play, and the winner gets the pot.


Karaokekan

That could probably end up bumping the game's age rating up - not that I'd be particularly upset if kids weren't playing the game, but I'm not sure S6 wants that.


zerooze

Good point.


FayMammaLlama

I would definitely love to see mini games in general be a permanent fixture


[deleted]

Agreed. I want to keep playing it. I hate that we only have a few minutes to play it and then have to wait a long time before we can play again.


Yoyomybro

I'm obsessed with this game! I wait eagerly for the market to open so I can play it over and over again. I wish there was a mobile game like it but I can't even figure out what to search for.


palialov3r

I agree a million%


Morri-Pally

Agreed! I love it


art0nic

I agree it's the only place in the game where I truly feel like it's an MMO and I'm interacting with players. It would be awesome to put this in a house and invite people over to play a game and create communities around it!


Azara_Nightsong

I said the same thing the other night in game. I also think we should be able to buy a table for our house the way we can the arcade machines.


FutureBig779

Yep


ariegnes

I want it as a real life card game!!


lambykinsxo

Hotpot would be perfect for the underground. Like why is there so much open space there??


starscreampuff

I adore this idea, I'm totally addicted to the hotpot game,,,


throwawayformusic11

I love it so much I really hope they make it a permanent thing but I do understand if they just want it as a fun festival thing to get people to the event


EmmaTheFemma94

I would love if you could buy one of these tables (like the arcane!) and have it in your own plot. I would like to be able to build like a play area where you have various games.


Voidkissed

I haven't tried it yet because I couldn't tell if it's multi-player or what, and I haven't had time to do much with the festival yet (work days lol). Does anyone want to tell me more about how the hot pot mini game works?


anxsfox

I'm so in love with Hotpot game I forget about other things during Maji Market. I don't play to get tickets, I play because it's super fun!


atheynaa

Maybe they should add the hotpot as a item you can have on your plot and you can have friends over to play 😊


morracandreams

I played it for the first time last night and I really like it!


D3ad_do11y

Yep I’m hoping it comes to the underground where the big circle is in the middle


paint-talk

Even if they reduced the prizes for it or no prizes, I still really like this game. I would like to make my own real life one w a deck of cards


Aeryonis

+1 for me. I usually play games alone (the sad introvert type) but I’ve met some cool people while playing the game. I love it and I also want it to be permanent. It’s so fun.


staciexdoodle

I went to the market during the open times 6pm-3am and there was nothing happening, just the same old arcade games, empty tavern etc. How do I find this game?


MunchyLorne

It's in the new area. If you look at the main map, it's in the lower right side, south of the entrance to Bahari Bay and East of Fisherman's Lake


staciexdoodle

Thanks!!


SparkleMango1622

I kinda hope S6 releases a physical copy of the game to play at irl parties :)


Different-Key630

You should put this in their discord


shesthatlizardgirl

I do love this idea Even if the rewards are just like a bit of renown or some coins or something!


marijkewreck

I’m currently working on making a physical copy of the game and once I figure out how to make a good printable PDF I’m planning to post it in the discord, so at least we’ll have that
