Clubhouse Games - Gameplay

Gameplay

The compilation is compatible with the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak. If the Rumble Pak is inserted, the Nintendo DS will vibrate when it is the player's turn in the game. The compilation contains three different modes: Free Play, Stamp Mode, and Mission Mode.

In Free Play mode, the player may choose any of the 42 games available to play. Clubhouse Games divides its 42 games up into eight categories. These are the categories and the titles found in each:

• Card games: Old Maid, Spit, I Doubt It, Sevens, Memory, Pig, Blackjack, Hearts, President, Rummy, Seven Bridge, Last Card, Last Card Plus, Five Card Draw, Texas hold 'em, Nap, Spades, and Contract Bridge.
• Board games: Chinese checkers, Checkers, Dots and Boxes, Hasami shogi, Turncoat, Connect Five, Grid Attack, Backgammon, Chess, Shogi, Field Tactics, and Ludo.
• Variety games: Soda Shake, Dominoes, Koi-Koi, and Word Balloon.
• Action games: Bowling, Darts, Billiards, Balance, and Takeover.
• Single player games: Solitaire, Escape, and Mahjong solitaire.

Stamp Mode is a single-player mode that has three levels of difficulty. Players receive 1–3 stamps depending on how they place in the games. Several games in the "Free Play" mode are locked until the player plays them in Stamp Mode. After completing the first "easy" level of Stamp Mode, normal and hard modes are unlocked. Beating the normal level unlocks the "stamp" section in the chat window; finishing hard gives the player a new color to use in the chat window and one last stamp.

Mission Mode is a single-player mode that features 30 missions to accomplish. Some missions include beating the "Memory" card game under three minutes, bowling three strikes in a row, or getting 200 points in Darts. When the player successfully completes one mission, he unlocks another icon. When all 30 missions have been completed, the player unlocks the "Pop" set of music.
