Mario cards

A lot of people are lamenting the delays of big-budget games, but some are pointing at the impending release ofClubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classicson Switch and saying “relax.”

This low key release includes 51 classic board and card games to play, with a large focus on local play: with the screen serving as the board itself. As we near its launch, Nintendo just put out a video showcasing a few of theMariofranchise cosmetics you’ll be able to unlock for it, which you can view below. While theMarioplaying cards are slick, viewers might also spot a mysterious card game with no numbers: it’s Hanafuda (“Flower Cards”)!

The history of Hanafuda is vast, but suffice to say that Nintendo actually had a hand in this industry many moons ago, and even releaseda special edition Hanafuda set for Club Nintendo members. I have that very set, and occasionally play it at home. If you’re interested,you’re able to even learn to play it online.

Clubhouse Gameswill arrive on Switch on June 5.

Some of your favorites from the Mushroom Kingdom make an appearance with special Mario themed card decks in#ClubhouseGames: 51 Worldwide Classics! Unlock these decks for use in favorites like Texas Hold’em, Matching, Speed, and more.https://t.co/y1PO1QJoNipic.twitter.com/5VgUEqofEv
