I'm not usually one to care about "classic board games collection" games because it can be made cheaply. Yet here comes Clubhouse Games showing us all that you can in fact make an excellently curated selection of games from around the world. The online function is what really sold me and became a staple in my friend group due to how relatively timeless board games are. The only downside is that they made confusing choices with the online multiplayer where some games are limited regardless of game (eg, bowling limited to 2 players, Chinese checkers having no 3 player option, etc.). In terms of the general look, they lean into the cute human game pieces giving you a tour through the whole game and it's incredibly charming. They really want you to understand how to play every single game, and it's done so intuitively and with a lot of respect to the player. You can measure your mastery through each classic game through small challenges. The game progression even comes with fun trivia and cosmetic unlockables. Overall, I enjoyed this game way more than I had anticipated.
