An assortment of eight party games developed and published by Sofel for the Famicom Disk System. Most are based around gambling.

SOFEL's Gokuraku Yuugi: Game Tengoku ("Paradise Play: Game Heaven" - no relation to Rhythm Heaven) is a mini-game collection that provides eight different types of game framed as different stations on a TV.

The games are variations on:

Bingo
Roulette
Dice
Slots
Blackjack
Poker
Concentration (a.k.a. Memory or Pairs)
Speed (a.k.a. Spit)

The Bingo and Dice games have no scoring system in-game; rather, they are simulations of a randomization process that players can use with their own physical scoring systems at home (such as bingo cards or Yahtzee/Dice Poker sheets).
