   Summary: Nice Collection of Card Games
I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys playing cards. The cartridge contains a nice assortment of card games and, of course, the replay factor is unlimited. Each game comes complete with instructions. Although the cards appear very tiny on the viewing screen, I can see them clearly when playing on my Gameboy Advance SP. If you're looking for action, adventure or arcade games, this is not for you; but if you like card games, this is a "must have" for your game collection.

   Summary: WORTH THE MONEY
I LOVE THE ASORTMENT OF CARD GAMES. NOW I DONT NEED ANYONE TO PLAY WITH OR SHOW THEM HOW TO PLAY. I LEARN A GAME BEAT IT AND LEARN A NEW ONE. THE ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS THAT IT DOESNT HAVE TOO PLAYER AND I CANT GET THE COPY GAME TO WORK.

   Summary: Pretty Good
All in all, this is a good game. You might play the games differently than the computer does, and you cant change it. You can play many different games though, and it will teach you the ones that you dont know. This isnt not one of those games that will entertain you for hours, but it is definatley fun. If your not that crazy about card games, do not buy this game. But if you are, BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!

   Summary: Extremely addictive and fun, but solitaire will tire you out
I've noticed that a lot of the reviews are really harping on a specific game having a bug that ruins the experience for them. If you look at the group on a whole, though, this is the best bargain in Gameboy games that I have seen yet.

The casino games are a lot of fun. Poker and Blackjack are well done, albeit slow (the computer really takes its time dealing cards). Video poker is a bit too simplistic to play for any amount of time, but your kids or slightly retarded uncle might enjoy it.

The Classic card games are extremely well done. I haven't played euchre in ages, but I got sucked back in almost immediately. Gin Rummy is slightly different than the version I played as a kid, but it's as viable a version as mine, so it doesn't bother me. Crazy Eights is a hoot, and learning to play cribbage and bridge by myself with a cold beer and Radiohead playing is a lot easier than having to listen to my grandmother or mom harp at me about how I played the last hand all wrong.

The solitaire games, while technically fine, are rendered almost useless by the controller. Moving each card one-by-one with the controller reminds me how much easier it is to play the solitaire games on my computer with a mouse. By the end of one game of Freecell, my hand was cramped so bad I had to go get another couple of cold beers and listen to side 1 of Dark Side of the Moon before my hand was functioning again. Fun, competent solitaire games, but I'll bet you develop Popeye forearms after a couple of weeks.

The cartridge is definitely worth it just for the Classic and Casino games, though. Perfect games for sitting in the airport or riding in the passenger seat - most of these can be played in 5 to 10 minutes, which is a plus for me. Even when they go longer than that, every game has a good save feature. You can make an identity for yourself, complete with customized face. Pretty funny and cool. This thing never seems to come out of the GBA. My wife is just as hooked as I am, too.
