With many people spending more time at home, little time-wasters and games are a great distraction from the goings-on in the world. Today, Nintendo have released 51 Worldwide Games, which is a package of classic games such as chess, solitaire, poker, bowling and darts. The game can be played alone or with up to 4 player local multiplayer, but the good news is that you don’t need 4 copies. Alongside the main 51 Worldwide Games version, Nintendo are releasing a Pocket Edition which allows you to play local multiplayer with another player who owns the full game. The Pocket Edition also includes 4 of the games that you can play in full. Those games are Dominoes, Four in a Row, President and Slot Cars.
