Mini-games while in cities

Fable- Lost Chapters came out and I was thinking back to when I played the original.

I found that fishing for a while was kinda fun. I think there are several areas that you could fish, Like Lion's Arch while you watch the trade window.(salvage a fish for scales, get loot and every once in a while get a rare something)

I really didn't care for the gambling mini games because I always lost, but that might be fun too.

Ideas?

You know, Ive always like mini games within a game.
However most of them are just filler. It would be cool to see one taken a little (just a little) more seriously.

I remember in FF8 there was a card game that you played if you liked along your adventure.
The card game wasnt incredible, but the extra content it provided was pretty deep.

I could see a card game in where cards are bought in packs and booster packs by NPCs and rarer ones are dropped by mobs and even bosses.
You could play 1 on 1 vs others in towns.
Plus, if done correctly it could mirror the classes and skills in GWs own metagame.
This would help players become competitive 1vs1 in GWs which currently isnt, in all fairness, possible.

Though this could enrich GW in several ways it may take a lot of effort away from other things to pull off properly.
Id prefer something orginal and competitve but even minigames like chess, s.o.s, or chinese checkers it would be a fun addition.
If its not compititive then Id say that there should be a way to cash in a reward for playing well.
