Alongside the HD remasters, DLC plans, and sequels, was something a little more classic in the Nintendo Direct Mini. Bringing together plenty of tabletop staples and more, Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, which is continuing a brand started on the DS in 2005, looks to make sure no matter where you are you can grab something from your game closet.
Perfect for playing with the Switch laid flat or on your TV, the long list of featured games from around the globe includes the following:
- Mancala
- Hanafuda
- Backgammon
- Renegade
- Checkers
- President
- Dominoes

Some of these are brandless takes on common games (Connect Four, Yahtzee, and Uno, for example), while others stretch the definition of tabletop games pretty far (fishing?). Still, it seems this is carrying on the spirit of the Wii Sports and Wii Play titles in a way that could be fun for young and old game aficionados alike.
Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics will be dealt to Nintendo Switch on June 4th.
