Some of the most popular mini-games in RuneScape include Castle Wars, where players engage in large-scale capture-the-flag battles, and the TzHaar Fight Cave, a combat challenge that pushes players to their limits.

Players can strategize in Castle Wars, a combat-based mini-game, or engage in the resource-management challenge of managing a kingdom in the game’s Throne of Miscellania.
