Jay Semerad of allgame stated that the game's lack of difficulty settings and tough AI can result in players struggling to win against the computer, adding that Hoyles' books are a better reference for players wishing to learn how to play than the game's menus. Each player must pick an avatar to represent them before they can begin, such as a crocodile or a teddy bear. Each game's rules are explained within a menu.

The AI can prove a challenging opponent since the game lacks any difficulty settings. Two players can use two separate Game Boy Color consoles and connect them with a link cable, or use a single machine and alternate their turns. Competitive games are played against the game's artificial intelligence (AI), or against another player.


The package includes eight competitive card games, such as cribbage and go fish, as well as six variations of solitaire.
