Crayon Shin-Chan: Ora to Poi Poi is a card-based video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The gameplay features a tennis-like court where players control Shin to slide pairs of cards from a central stack. The objective is to match symbols and send card stacks to the opponent's side, aiming to breach their goal and secure victory. The game combines strategic matching with fast-paced competition.
The game is a simple card game with a Tetris element. The layout is similar to a Tennis court with both players on either sides defending their goal, while stacks of cards are positioned in the center. Players must move Shin up and down sliding cards, in two's, to the center pile matching up symbols and push each stack back to the opponent's side in an attempt to over take their goal.
