Club House games is a great little DS game. In the one game there are plenty of games to keep you occupied and playing for hours. Play locally with one game card or go online and play with friends or strangers. Really the single player experience here will work whether you're commuting on the bus or just lying on your couch at home bored. There are 42 games in this purchase, you can't go wrong and you'll be playing it over and over with plenty of replay value. Great for those nights that you can't sleep!

Just what I needed

I work for a security company, and I often find myself in the middle of nowhere with nothing to look at and nobody to talk to. This makes falling asleep a serious risk, as in a risk to my employment and potentially a risk to the people and property I'm protecting. How do I avoid this problem? Playing games like this.

Clubhouse Games has over card games, board games, puzzle games, bowling , billiards, darts, and my personal favorite, shake the bottle, which I'm going to play against my niece the next time I see her. I can and have played this game for hours on end. You can change the look of each game, the rules of each game, and how many players you play against in each game. As you play, you unlock new surprises.

It was worth every penny to buy this game.

Great variety, but . . .

It's great to have a big collection of mostly traditional games with all the convenience of the DS. There's sure to be something here for everybody.

On the downside, there are sure to be some games you'll rarely, if ever, bother with. First off, some of them are kids' games and won't be much fun if you're older than six or so. At the other extreme, some are brain-taxing games (e.g., checkers, chess, shogi), and many people will pass those by. Those who don't pass them by will also likely be disappointed, as the AI is much too weak for even a good novice player.

If you're planning to play these games with other people, in the same room or online, it may be a great buy. It'll be fairly easy to find something everybody considers fun; and the game play will be just like any board or card game, only quicker and neater.

But if you're a single-player gamer like me, Clubhouse Games may not be the best choice. There are some pleasant diversions in the mix -- games that are good for passing a bit of time -- but the challenge is lacking in some games, and others just don't feel right without other human players.

I ended up buying Chessmaster, since the Clubhouse Games version of chess is pitifully weak and a little slow and awkward. I also bought Solitaire Overload, for a greater variety of card games for one. Now that I have those, I rarely come back to Clubhouse Games.

I'd like to enjoy a game of backgammon now and then, but the Clubhouse Games version does not have a doubling-cube feature, which limits the strategic challenge of that game.

I also like checkers (draughts), but besides the weak AI, the Clubhouse Games version of checkers is faulty: it allows (actually forces) a man to jump out of the king row upon being kinged. That's contrary to the standard rules of checkers.

So, the variety is there, but quantity doesn't make up for lack of quality. In my view, this is just a promising collection of what turn out to be mostly so-so games.

What is the point of having to unlock things in this game?

I think the game is well done, but in order to play some games which i prefer, I have to waste time plodding through stupid time wasters like bowling and "i doubt it". I just hurried up and lost to get through them, but I don't know if I want to keep plodding through the time wasters to get to the ones I want to play. There are others ds games which I bought that are fun and don't have any locks like 'brain busters', picross, polarium, conductra, etc. They are good to go, no muss no fuss. I think this concept of the 'locked' games should be a preference that you can set on or off.

wow different 40 game!

I don't know why there has been so much confusion on this subject, but once and for all CLUBHOUSE GAMES FOR THE NINTENDO DS DOES NOT HAVE THE GAME OF GO ON IT! I bought it based on a review on Amazon stating that it had Go, but I regret to inform you that it does not.

That being said, this is a pretty good game. There's lots of fun card/board games on it and you can easily play with friends. If your on a train or stuck at the airport or something, this is a great game to have.

Finally .... Card Games!

For a person like me, who loves the slower paced games ... like card games and traditional games on these systems, this was a real find.

After pouring over titles and searching for any sign of card games, I finally found "Clubhouse Games."

I can find tons of poker type games, but I wanted more games like rummy and hearts and the like. This game, at least, has those.

The graphics could be better and the "manual" isn't all that much of a help and I could pass on the darts and bowling games, but it does have card games.

I wish there were more games out there with the traditional card games. Not all of us like fast action games....a slower pace for me, please.

If I was only allowed one game for my DS...

This would be it. In fact it's several card games, bowling, checkers, chess, darts, pool and more all in one game. At the $30 I paid for it, it comes to less than $1 per game. I play this one more than my other games combined.

Never a dull moment

I never wanted to get a DS until my BF brought his over and we started playing clubhouse games. I was hooked from the start, and I now have my own. It's a very addictive game (I am a fan of bowling and blackjack) that never gets dull. There's always something new to unlock and I love how challenging the games are. It's even better when you play against someone.

If you are new to the DS, Clubhouse games is a good game to start with. Prepare to become addicted!
