Clubhouse Games

Graphics DifferencesThe two versions look so different that it warranted its own page.

General#

• Daredemo Asobi Taizen lacks the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.
• The American version uses a 12-hour clock with AM/PM display, while all other releases use a 24-hour clock.
• After changing any setting, whether global or specific to one game, Daredemo Asobi Taizen shows a "Saving... Do not turn the console off" message. This doesn't happen in the international versions, as the game saves instantly.
• You can tap on the Touch Screen to speed up some actions (such as the random ordering of players at the start of a match) in all versions except Daredemo Asobi Taizen.
• After completing a game, Daredemo Asobi Taizen cuts to the results screen abruptly. The international versions add a fade-out and fade-in effect.
• There is noticeable lag when sending drawn messages and when the game saves in Daredemo Asobi Taizen.
• The "Options" tab at the bottom of the screen contains a backlight toggle in Daredemo Asobi Taizen, which was replaced with an "Open Room" option in all other versions.

Game Rules#

General#

• Old Maid handles the eponymous card differently across the versions. In Daredemo Asobi Taizen, the card is a Joker by default, but you can instead set the game to instead remove a random card from the deck. In the international versions, you can set it to either add a Joker or remove a random Queen; the former is the default in the Japanese version, whereas the latter is the default in the North American and European versions.
• In Daredemo Asobi Taizen, Rummy can be set to last for 1, 3, 5 or 10 round(s). In the international versions, it can also be set to 8.
• The international versions allow setting the CPU's difficulty in Checkers.
• The international versions add the option to choose which player goes first in Chess.
• The international versions add the option to limit the amount of times you can pass through the deck in Solitaire, though this is set to infinite by default.

Blackjack#

Japan (original)	International

• In Daredemo Asobi Taizen, the dealer is only allowed to flip his first card face-up after he stops drawing cards. This was changed in the international versions so that the dealer flips his first card face-up before drawing any cards.
• The ability to Double Down is off by default in Daredemo Asobi Taizen, but on in the international versions.
• In Daredemo Asobi Taizen, the game can be set to last for 1, 5, 10 or 30 round(s). In the international versions, it can also be set to 20.

Hearts#

Japan (original)	International

• In Daredemo Asobi Taizen, all players start with a set number of points and their score is decreased with each penalty card, with the game ending once a player reaches 0 points, and the player with the most points winning. In the international versions, all players start with 0 points and their score increases with each penalty card, with the game ending once a set number of points is reached, and the player with the least points winning at the end.
• In Daredemo Asobi Taizen, the first player is decided at random, and they may play any card. In the international versions, the player with the 2 of Clubs starts and must play that card first.
• Daredemo Asobi Taizen keeps track of how many tricks each player won, including tricks where no penalty cards were played.

Word Balloon#

US/Europe	Japan (re-release)

• Due to the large amount of kana in Japanese, a random selection of incorrect ones are made unavailable at the start of the game. In Daredemo Asobi Taizen, the number of removed characters can be customized—it is 40 by default.
• The number of balloons (possible errors) changes between the versions. In Daredemo Asobi Taizen, the number is 20. In the international versions, the number can be customized—it is 10 by default in the North American and European releases, and 20 in the Japanese one.

Music#

The title screen in Daredemo Asobi Taizen has completely different music from the international versions in both soundtrack styles.

These three tracks have a higher tempo and added instruments in Daredemo Asobi Taizen.

Stamp Mode#

The order of the games in Stamp Mode was changed in the international versions.

This, in turn, alters which games are locked when first starting the game: Pig, Seesaw Game, Rummy, Checkers, and Nap in Daredemo Asobi Taizen, and Word Balloon, Ludo, Field Tactics, and Shogi in the international versions.
