Put your Omnomberry Juice drinking skills to the test in this new, permanent mini-game. Seek out challengers around the world to learn their signature skills, then challenge your friends in PvP mode!

exciting. Skillhunting is back!

• find challengers around the world – like the bosses in GW1?
• …to learn their signature skills – like from the bosses in GW1? O_o

so you go skillhunting around the world and you can challenge your friends too?!! Awesome!!

It’s odd, I would have expected something like this from Polymock, does this mean we won’t see PM since this takes it’s place?

well it could be a precursor or test for how they want to do Polymock.

Oh look, another mini-game that isn’t Bar Brawl, the game with achievements you can’t get because you can’t play it because it doesn’t exist – why must you continuously tease me ANet, why?!!

This sounds fun though.

from official “Kuraine” on Reddit:

If you enjoyed the drinking mini-game in the Order of Whispers storyline, I hope you’ll get a kick out of this It’s evolved quite a bit since then. I’d call it Version 2.0 Omnom Boogaloo. Or Belcher’s Bluff. Y’know, whichever.

This sounds amazingly fun, especially for an RP event with the guildies!
NEEERRRRDDDDGASMMMMMMM

It sounds a lot like the drinking game you play in the early Order of Whispers story arc. I guess that’s where the bluff comes in – you could fake out your opponent by drinking water.

The thought of “capturing skills” is kinda nostalgic though.

Hope polymock will be back soon.

Straight from Wikipedia:
Belcher is of French origin (bel ‘good-looking’ + cher ‘dear’); with a different pronunciation, it may also refer to a person who belches, that is, burps.

Therefore, burping game? lol

I hope it’s something you can do anywhere without having to use consumables.

It’ll be nice having something to do while you are guarding a keep in WvW, so people don’t leave when they get bored, leaving them undefended.

There should be minigames like FFIX’s card game that you can use while there’s no enemies around for things like those.
Making time while in the battlements of a keep.
