Playing a Minigame
The sequence:
AI decides minigames are appropriate
Opens arcade or selects game

Baby Exception
Babies cannot play minigames. This creates challenges:
No fun from games
No gold earnings
Must rely on toys
More limited options
This is one reason baby stage is difficult.
Game Variety
While Mimic might be most efficient, the AI can play:
Different games for variety
Specific games based on situation
Multiple games in a session
Variety keeps things interesting.
Minigame Frequency
Fun decays quickly, so the AI might play minigames:
Several times per day
After other activities
As preventive maintenance
Whenever fun drops
This frequent play accumulates significant gold.
Gold Accumulation
Over time, regular minigame play leads to:
Stable gold reserves
Money for emergencies
Funds for purchases
Financial security
The pet becomes self-sufficient.
