Ultimate Card Games is a collection of 12 traditional card games and multiple variants of video poker. Featured games include hearts, spades, euchre, cribbage, canasta, gin rummy, go fish, poker, blackjack, crazy eights, and solitaire, with the latter offering 15 different versions. As in the earlier release of Ultimate Brain Games, Ultimate Card Games lets players create an alter ego with a custom face and clothing before competing against one of 12 computer personalities with five adjustable skill levels. Up to four players can also compete via Game Link Cable, with only one cartridge required to play. Each game can be played using a variety of different card decks on a choice of decorative backgrounds, and over one hour of music is included with a modifiable play list from the menu screen. For those experiencing some of the games for the first time, onscreen help and instructions are available within a menu-style interface. A demo of each game is also included to show how it is played. Built-in battery backup lets players save their progress as well as track the total number of wins, losses, and overall winning percentage for each game. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
