Awesome game.

The games that I've never played, but will probably learn because of this game:
Backgammon
Bridge
Hearts
At least a few others
Clubhouse games is probably worth double the admission price at the $20 I paid for it.

I'm agree 100% with Goldberg74 that the gamesharing feature in Clubhouse Games is incredible. My wife and I bought only one copy but it's great spending 20 or 30 minutes just playing some random games against one another. I also love that up to 8 people can play using only 1 DS cart, which is a feature that I think more DS games should expand upon in the future.

Speaking of the uneven difficutly, I absolutely smoked the CPU at Chess on the hard Stamp mode and I stink at Chess. The CPU AI for Chess is terrible.
I did have an amazing come from behind win at Texas Hold em online tonight. Basically won it all on the last card of the last hand. I'm now 434th in the World. Big Whoop.

I got this game primarily for the WiFi feature and have been utterly disgusted by the "worldwide" implementation. Having to pick a game before finding players makes no sense. At least, not without lobbies...
So, who wants to arrange some meet-ups? Should we have a separate thread for that besides this or the WiFi tag one? I'd love to get on and play some Spades or Hearts or anything, really.

I check for Friends rooms when I connect, but its hard to run into people at random. Not sure if it needs a separate thread, but I think we should try to arrange something.

I seem to be having a problem with my dominoes game.
I can't seem to set them all up in a row and knock them down again. Anyone else having this problem?

I don't get all the hatred for dominoes. It's a brilliant game.
My only beef with its implementation in Club House Games is that they do the math for you, which is partly helpful, but is ultimately just a crutch that takes all of the thinking out of the game. You just drag the domino over and it automatically calculates whether it's a multiple of 5 even before you drop it. No need to think at all.

Chess is a far more interesting game. :P

Okay, I'm thinking about trying to grab 3 more DS titles at the B2G1F thing at Toys R US. Tony Hawk Down Hill Jam is getting great reviews so that one is a must, however, I'm stuck on what else to get.
I'm thinking about Magical Starsign and maybe the poorly reviewed Touch Detective just because I really like point and click adventure, even if its a crappy one. However, I still haven't picked up Starfox and may consider that.
Anyone have ideas? Other options could be Children of Mana, but only if it comes out before the sale is over and maybe the Star Trek Tactics game though I'm sure it will end up sucking. I pretty much have all the older DS titles I wanted having recently picked up Megaman ZX, Metroid Prime Hunters and Point Blank DS.

Guess I'm getting in on the online Castlevania preorder bonus afterall. My mom was asking what games I wanted for X-mas or my B-day next month, so I sent her a link to that at gamestop.com.
I see they dropped the price to $34.99, BUT they tack on an extra $5 shipping fee now due to the "unusual" size and weight of the package. Their aren't any frees hipping coupons at the moment, and from CAG it looks like those that had some personal free shipping coupons for other purchases were still getting the extra $5 anyway, though the regular shipping fee was removed.

I ended up buying Tony Hawk which is once again excellent. Vicarious Visions is probably the only American developer that gets the DS and gets how to make good DS games.
I also picked up Magical Starsign and I picked up Rub Rabbits which now seems to be hard to find. My wife had been wanting it and they had a copy left so I made it my free game.
Oh well, back to playing Downhill Jam.

I tried twice in store and got the same story. They don't have a sku for the one with the bonus pack. Not even sure that makes sense. Would they need a special sku for it?

I hate this man. If I'm correct, this is the section I can't get past, where you do five surgeries in a row and you have to do them all in ten minutes.
By the way, Clubhouse Games is freakin' addicting.
