    It’s a fun game with a polished and cozy charm and has a really nice atmosphere. Although sometimes games can seem one-sided or lacking some areas, clubhouse games makes up for it with its online and enormous amount of games which will definitely have you busy for hours on end!

    A Nintendo-branded collection of 51 classic games.

    PROS: SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE: 51 games are a lot, and they range from classic board games such as chess and backgammon to card games, dice games, simulations like bowling and slot cars, and even mini-videogames such as golf. If you don't find something to like in here, then you probably don't like games, period. PERFECT FOR    A Nintendo-branded collection of 51 classic games.

If you don't find something to like in here, then you probably don't like games, period.

    PERFECT FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY: I enjoy having quick games after lunch with relatives on the Internet. When we meet, we still pick up our Switches every now and then to play side by side. This is the perfect casual game for everybody.

    EXTREMELY POLISHED: This collection is painstakingly curated, and the excellent graphics and sound go a long way towards making each game feel "real" and satisfying to play.

    CONS:

    NO MIXING FRIENDS AND RANDOS: When you play on the Internet, you can "Play with friends" (and computer-controlled opponents) or "Play with strangers"–not both. While that's probably a way to avoid cheating, it still feels weirdly constraining in this kind of casual games.

    NOT A PARTY GAME: This game assumes that each player has their own Switch. If you want to play with multiple people on the same Switch, you're mostly out of luck.

    THE CHARACTERS ARE ANNOYING: The short dialogues that introduce each game are a great idea, but those kids (and some of the adults) are pretty obnoxious.    … Expand

    A well executed collection of traditional games. The content included feels appropriate for the price, as the games included are all very well presented and enjoyable, though the quality does range obviously.

    The darts game is really good, highly recommend everyone gives it a go. With this package you will not need to keep things (and lose them) all over the house such as chess or draughts boards, or even playing cards. Best of all , you can play everything online!

    A greatly varied selection of addicting board games, card games, sports, and other games. The visuals are great and it is pretty easy to learn how to play the games through the guides. I do wish they made it so that certain games could be multiplayer without the need for extra switches and that multiplayer could use dual joycons and pro controllers, though.

    Fun multiplayer! This is really great for co-op. It could be the ultimate party game collection if the games had more different backgrounds, designs, etc. Some of them just feel very low effort. I also like the personalities of the little characters, but I would have loved if they were actually animated characters. Not just figures. Would have given the game more charme.

    If it wasn't for Mancala, the score would be zero. 51 Clubhouse Games? Yeah right, more like 1 game: Mancala, because all of the other games aren't as good. It's no wonder that they made Mancala the first game in the collection.

    I really enjoy this game. The graphics are charming in a Nintendo sort of way. I usually play against my partner, but the CPU isn't bad either and has a variety of difficulty levels.

This game's shooting range, however, definitely feels like the one in Wii Sports! A handful of games use (fun) motion controls, although you can switch to touch controls if you prefer. One disappointment is the use of buttons (no motion) for the tennis game, but I guess that's to drive customers towards Mario Tennis Aces. The tank games and golf are pretty short and limited. Some (most?) games only allow 2 players in multiplayer, but I only have one partner so I can't complain. It's a great value given the large selection of games and their replayability value.

    Edit: I wanted to mention that the game includes Sorry/Trouble, Yahtzee, Reversi/Othello, Connect Four, and Uno. They're just under different names due to copyright.    … Expand

    The game is very attractive.
    It has beautiful graphics, animations, sounds and, of course, the gameplay.
    Some games between the presented set support motion controllers, as the Bowling, for example.
    It funny to play locally.
    Must have for playing with friends or family.

With games like Yacht, 4 in a row, boxing, tennis, golf, soccer, and 45 others, this will surely entertain you whether you're alone, or with friends or online.

    I had my doubts about this game but I have to say that is not bad.
    - It's fun and has a lot of games inside so you'll be entertained for a long time.
    - For times like this it's perfect.
    - I was able to learn games like Hanafuda and Majong through this collection.
    If you're bored or if you have no enough time, this is a good option.

    This is a bad game. The only good thing about it is the graphics, which literally does not matter at all when you are playing such games. Why buy this when you can play better versions of EVERYTHING online. Don’t waste your time or money buying this garbage.

    It's true that with friends this game can be hella fun, though it doesn't last long due to it allowing only 2 players per one console, even in games which could normally be played by 4 players, and I see no reason for that.

It's only a few examples of the game lacking in functionality but with that said, the real joy of this game I found playing on my own. There is something really relaxing and enjoyable about just playing those classic board games, and especially learning ones that you have never played before. They all have how-to sections with which you can easily learn the basics, and some tips if you want to become a bit better. And those which seem more complicated even have their own tutorial mode. Thanks to that I, for example, learned how to play Riichi Mahjong, and spent many hours delving into it, as where without it, having a physical version of it, I would have probably just skipped it.
    It is not a game which I would play day after day, but I'll definitely come back to it once in a while, whether on a plane trip, or chilling at home, and with the amount of games it has, it is definitely worth the price.    … Expand

    Chess, Shogi, and Backgammon, on the other hand, are fantastic and are classics for a reason of course. Fantastic games, and they nailed the execution. Overall for what games were included this is a great time. They could have subbed in some better games than some of the luck based ones here, but a lot of that comes down to what games you prefer, and I'm sure implementing games like War didn't take up much dev time.

    The only major exclusion I think would have elevated the package is Go. Instead this game only has Gomoku, which is very fun in it's own right but lacks the same depth.    … Expand

    Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics was a lot better than I expected. I assumed that since most of the games are classic board game that there wouldn't be much value here, but I was wrong.

There is truly something for everyone here - super casual, luck-based games to highly strategic ones.Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics was a lot better than I expected.

    On single player mode, the game is ridiculously easy. When I'm trying the "impossible" level in any specific game, I'm expecting it to be almost "impossible" effectively, not to beat it on my first try. That is really becoming a major concern with Nintendo games. I hope one day Nintendo understands that the average age of gamers is not 8 years old like it was in 1988. It is significantly higher than that. Therefore their games have to be clearly harder than is it in Clubhouse Games.

    But Overall it's OK I guess... Toy Games are trash - all of them - but Card games are great, and I discovered some really good games I didn't know, like Yacht Dice (my favorite) or Backgammon.    … Expand
