It sounds good... but in my opinion, would detract from the roleplaying aspect of cf. Such text-based games would be relatively easy to code, but why login to the mud to play chess when 1) it will do absolutely nothing to further your character's abilities or equipment, 2) your life will be in jeopardy with the huge "kill me" sign that you wear while absorbed in a game, 3) it's not doing anything to further roleplaying or interaction.

I can suggest logging into games.yahoo.com for online (java) chess, checkers, blackjack, etc... I think that may be more what you are looking for with some interaction between other humans.
