Pocket Color Trump (Japan) (GBC)

Pocket Color Trump is a compilation of traditional card games specifically designed for the Game Boy Color system. The game offers players the opportunity to experience various popular card game types within a single game cartridge.

Upon starting, players are presented with a menu allowing them to choose from different card games. Common games typically found in such compilations include: Poker, Blackjack, Speed, Daifugo (a variant of Big Two), and sometimes simpler games like Old Maid or Concentration (Memory). Each game features its own rules, faithfully recreated as accurately as possible on the GBC platform.

The interface of Pocket Color Trump is designed to be simple and intuitive, suitable for the small screen of the Game Boy Color. Players use the directional pad to select cards, place bets (if applicable), and perform in-game actions. The A button is typically used to confirm, and the B button to cancel or go back. The game primarily focuses on single-player mode, where players compete against computer-controlled opponents (AI) with varying difficulty levels, providing a challenge for both newcomers and experienced players.

The main objective in each game is to win according to the rules of that specific card game, for example, achieving the best hand in Poker, getting a total score closest to 21 in Blackjack, or discarding all cards from your hand fastest in Speed. With the high portability of the Game Boy Color, Pocket Color Trump is an ideal choice for quick entertainment anytime, anywhere.
