Like the original, Club House Games: 51 Worldwide Classics is a collection of traditional tabletop games like checkers, go, and backgammon, but it also includes some stranger virtual toys as well. Nintendo announced the game during its Nintendo Direct Mini video event today, and it included a full list of all 51 games. Here they are:
- Mancala
- Hanafuda
- Backgammon
- Renegade
- Checkers
- President
- Dominoes

Those may all sound like the most generic and boring games ever, but Clubhouse Games for DS proves that Nintendo can make even virtual darts fun.
One of the best things about Clubhouse Games on DS is its support for multiplayer. For many of its games, you could play on multiple systems even if only one person owned a copy. Those features are coming back, along with support for online multiplayer in certain games.
Maybe this is the excuse I need to finally learn how to play go.
