    There’s something that draws you to a good game, be it board, card or pencil and paper. 51 Worldwide Games presents high quality, faithful renditions of both classics and lesser known games, providing challenge and enjoyment in equal measure.

    51 Worldwide Games is a brilliant collection of some of the best (and in some cases oldest) games out there. From cards to dominoes and boards to balls, you’ll find a varied mix both familiar and fresh all wrapped in a wonderfully clean and polished package. Much like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, 51 Worldwide Games is another one of those releases that can be enjoyed by anyone be they a gamer or not. It may not have the earth-shaking excitement of a new Mario or Metroid backing it, but it certainly delivers on the fun. Do not pass on this delightful gem.

    Having so many great, timeless classics all together and so easy to pick up and put down at a moment's notice is spectacular. [Issue #48 – September/October 2020, p. 70]

    Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics is a solid compilation of some fantastic games. No, not all of them are winners, but the vast majority are engaging simple versions of the best tabletop games around. Though the single-player experience might be slightly lacking, Clubhouse Games is undoubtedly one of the best local multiplayer experiences on the Switch.

    This can stand tall knowing that it compiles a number of brilliantly addictive games that can be fun to play alone or with friends. Almost all can be played in a quick pick-up and play fashion, which can be handy for those looking to play in short bursts, whether on a short commute, or in a party scenario. Online matchmaking should perhaps be refined so that people match players first, and select games after, but this aside, 51 Worldwide Games is a fantastic budget title that all Nintendo Switch owners should buy.

    Clubhouse Games looks good but lacks any real substance beyond its large catalog of games, many of which offer little more than the most basic of strategies. It's as if Nintendo decided to collect free games put out for Windows 98 and then give them an HD render, offering some idle amusement. Once Clubhouse Games gets discounted (and I'm sure that it won't be long), it might be worth the price tag, but I wouldn't invest in a full-price version right out of the gate.

My girlfriend gifted it to me and we enjoy it a lot playing together. We have learned a lot of games to play with our friends as well.

    Furthermore, it has outstanding graphics for a game of this kind: it looks so pretty, especially in toy games! And music is really chill and comfortable to play with in the background.

    Sincerely, one of the games I am enjoying the most on the Switch even for it being so simple.    … Expand

    Very solid minigame collection for $40. A lot of fun so far and very enjoyable. If you're in the mood for some classic games, check this one out.

FromThe title of this game is quite fitting, since it really is just a collection of 51 classic games, most of which are tabletop games. From classics like chess and checkers, to family favorites like "last card," (a non copy right version of Uno) this game has everything you'd want out of it. It is VERY simple and easy to pick up. There's not much to it besides the games themselves, but what else would you need? The game is incredibly addictive and perfect if you have a lot of free time on your hands.… Expand

Le jeu en ligne fonctionne bien, la variété des jeux est là avec de très bonne explication pour découvrir de nouveaux jeux.
    Après certain jeux sont moins fun à joué comme le golf ou la pêche.

    Not bad, but disappointing. Obviously the game was made with multi-player in mind (2 players, mostly) meaning that on solo mode you're gonnaNot bad, but disappointing. Obviously the game was made with multi-player in mind (2 players, mostly) meaning that on solo mode you're gonna have a hard time finding your fun. The only way to play online is to have a subscription to Nintendo Online, which I don't have and I don't want one either.

    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

    You are forced locally to play with joycons which is trash, and on top of that you have no other option of playing with them besides handYou are forced locally to play with joycons which is trash, and on top of that you have no other option of playing with them besides hand held. Wanted a fun game to play on the TV but it sucks now this game is useless for the family. Don't buy Nintendo doesn't do refunds because they are a trash company. Waste of $40. Not everyone wants to use your dumb lamecons. Now I'm stuck with a. Trash game I will never use and sadly the controls of the joy con suck imagine Wii sports but 100 times worse that is how bad this game is. Nintendo needs to get their crap TOGETHER.… Expand
