    51 Worldwide games is Nintendo newest game and promises to offer 51 fun games from around the world. Those can be board, card or variety games. Does this game deliver fun claasic games or does it execute them poorly? You will find out in this review!
    I will also rate every single game.

    Graphics:
    The game's graphics are in 3D and present the game very realistic. Backgrounds are also very realistic and show tables and normal objects you can find in a living room. Especially 4 in a row Looks VERY realistic and could be an animated picture. But those are only the board and variety games. The card games's presentation is kinda poor compared to the rest. Those mostly showcase flat 2D spaces. There are also three card sets with Mario Skins.

    Sound Design:
    The music and sound effects aren't anything special. They do their work and are always fitting. They give a Wii Play, Sports, etc. kinda vibe off.

    Game Selection:
    The game offers a good variety of different board games. The term "worldwide" also fits pretty well since it has basic games like Chess, but also more exotic ones like Shogi or Hanafuda. Games like Fishing, Darts and Bowling fell like odd choices tho since they don't fit the tabletop games feeling. Also some games like War and Takoyaki are completly luck based and Ludo entirely plays itself.

    Multiplayer:
    The game can be played alone, but makes more fun with friends (up to 4 players). The game can be played online, with one Switch per person or with only one. The game has download-game which allows friends with a Switch to play the full game with you without owning the game. Sadly the game isn't made for 4 player game evenings since the game selction doesn't fit it (There are only 3 games available with 4 players and one Switch). So you should only invite 1 person to play the game with you.

    Content:
    The game offers enough to play for a nice long game evening (A friend and I needed 3 hours to play every game once). But also the singleplayer offers alot. If you win the game in a difficulty you get a medal and if you beat all, you "master" the game. You also get a piece of information about the game when you finish a round. Some of them are actually pretty interesting and others are boring.

    Score factors:
    Graphics 18/20
    Sound 6/10
    Multiplayer 18/20
    Game Selection 15/20
    Content 20/20
    Fun 9/10

    Total Score: 86/100
    The games is a fun experience and a must have for 2 Player board game fans

    3 Reason for playing the game:
    - Even in singleplayer the game is fun and offers alot
    - Great experience for 2 players
    - Fun trivia about some of the games

    3 reason against playing the game:
    - Doesn't offer much for 3 or 4 players
    - Some games doesn't require any tactic or almost play themselves
    - Uninteresting if you own most the games irl

    Now the review of every single game:

    Mancala (9/10):

    Alot of fun and works pretty well in this game collection.

    Hare And Hounds (9/10):

    Nice presentation and execution. Not my fav type of game tho.

    Nine Men's Morris (7/10):
    Plays exactly as the original board games. Presentation is kinda lacking and the game is pretty cheeseable.

    Chinese Checkers (7/10):
    Alot of fun. The move suggestions make the game too easy tho.

    Dots And Boxes (10/10):

    Fun game and awesome presentation.

    Hit And Blow (6/10):
    Fun game, but the multiplayer is badly executed.

    Hex (9/10):
    Alot of fun!

    Draughts (8/10):
    Just like the original.

    Four In A Row (9/10):
    Like the original. Gorgeus presentation.

    Backgammon (8/10):
    Fun game

    Ludo (3/10):
    No fun. Plays itself.

    Dominoes (4/10):
    Also almost plays itself.

    Yacht Dice (6/10):
    It is ok, I guess. Better irl.

    Renegade (9/10):
    Works better than the real life version.

    Riichi Mahjong (5/10):
    I don't know about this one tbh. Maybe I don't get this game.

    Chess (8/10):
    It's Chess

    Gomoku (8/10):
    It is good.

    Shogi (7/10):
    I prefer Chess

    Mini Shogi (7.5/10):
    Better than normal Shogi imo.

    Hanafuda (0/0):
    Can't judge this one. I don't understand the rules. I just do what the game tells me to do. The Mario themed cards are gorgeus.

    Texas Hold'em (8/10):
    Nice game, but sadly you can't control how much you want to bet.

    Blackjack (9.5/10):
    Works perfect

    Last Card (9/10):
    It is UNO

    President (8/10):

    I know a different version of the game. This version has some questionable rules.

    Sevens (10/10):
    This game is insanely good for some reason.

    Takoyaki (4/10):
    Plays itself most of the time. Has a little bit of tactic at least.

    Speed (6/10):
    Meh

    Matching (5/10):
    Very unnecessary

    Pig's Tail (7/10):
    The Standard rules are bad, but the alternative rules make the game interesting.

    War (1/10):

    Don't play it

    Toy Tennis (10/10):
    ALOT OF FUN

    Toy Baseball (8.5/10):

    Also alot of fun, but sometimes you need too much luck.

    Toy Boxing (8/10):
    Fun

    Toy Football (6/10):

    The mechanics are bad

    Toy Curling (8/10):
    Fun, but too many pieces per person.

    Bowling (7/10):
    Strange that it only allows max. 2 players. The motion controls aren't too good either.

    Darts (10/10):
    Good presentation and nice use of the motion controls.

    Billiards (8/10):

    Offers nice rulesets, but isn't as good as a real round of billiard.

    Air Hockey (8/10):
    Touch-Controls doesn't work good at all. Works well with a controller tho.

    Golf (7/10):
    Works good, but the selcetion of holes is really small. The air stream mechanic is very well executed.

    Shooting Gallery (5/10):
    Boring in Wii Play and boring here either

    Carrom (7/10):
    Worse version of billiard

    6-Ball Puzzle (6.5/10):

    Boring Puyo Puyo knock-off

    Battle Tanks (6.5/10):
    Not even close to the greatness of the Wii Play original.

    Team Tanks (6/10):
    Even more boring. Only 3 stages.

    Fishing (8/10):
    Awesome. Sadly there isn't a lexikon like the version on the 3DS (Ar-Cards).

    Slot Cars (9/10):
    Nice

    Sliding Puzzle (5/10):
    Meh

    Mahjong Solitaire (10/10):

    Fun and alot of content

    Klondike Solitare (8/10):
    Nothing special

    Spider Solitare (8.5/10):
    Like the version pre-installed on older PCs
