10 Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2020

It might seem asinine to list what is essentially an overpriced digital version of the 50-Games-in-One collection you typically see in your local supermarket as one of the Switch's best of 2020, but Clubhouse Games presents its electronic equivalents with such polish and immediacy that it's impossible to leave it off the table.

Besides, those unbranded ten quid boxes usually sneak forty variations of pick-up sticks amongst their boasted 50. By comparison, Nintendo's effort is a museum piece, a cultural and historically significant ludography of, ironically, an age before video games.

There's nothing new here, but no other compilation brings together half-a-century (plus one) of several centuries' most beloved board, card and parlour games in a package as accessible and versatile as this. The options are limitless, whether you want to play familiar favourites such as chess or ludo with a friend, finally learn the difference between tsumo and ron in Mahjong, or simply pass the time with a hand of solitaire. Online matchmaking ensures you can always find an opponent if you can't coerce a family member into a round of the inscrutable of koi-koi, and failing that, the AI is surprisingly sophisticated across the entire package. In an age of remastered anthologies of old games, there's perhaps none better than this one.
