Hoyle Card Games on Game Boy Color is basically a pocket-sized casino—minus the questionable life choices. You boot it up, pick from classics like Poker, Bridge, or Solitaire (I always end up in a black hole of Klondike), and suddenly it’s 2 AM. The AI opponents aren’t pushovers either—that Bridge bot? Ruthless.

What’s cool is how it actually teaches you the rules if you’re new to a game. First time I tried Hearts, I kept accidentally shooting the moon like an idiot, but the tutorial saved me from eternal embarrassment. Multiplayer’s a blast if you’ve got a link cable and a friend who won’t flip the table after losing at Gin Rummy.

It’s not flashy, just pure card game vibes with that satisfying GBC color palette. Perfect for waiting rooms or pretending to be a cowboy in a saloon. Just don’t blame me when you start mentally calculating odds during family game night.
