This is a GREAT set of games. There are some new games I am hooked on (e.g. Rummy Squares) and some old ones (Backgammon) that I can now play with humorous, though slightly cheesy, opponents.

Another cool thing about the game is how you can earn "Hoyle Bucks" for various things you do in the game (such as capture the queen in chess, leap over 5 pieces in chinese checkers, etc), the values of which are defined in a "book" in the game, that allow you to "purchase" things from a "catalog" that is also in the game, so you can get different colored boards, different dice, different objects for your avatar to have with him/her, different theme music, etc. It's really sweet.

DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY!

Whole family hooked!

If you enjoy puzzle games this is for you. I am totally addicted to Star Collector. The addition of Hoyle Bucks is fun also, letting you earn money to spend on your little space. All of the Hoyle collections are great!

Warning: This is highly addictive!

My family and I are constantly fighting over who's turn it is to get the computers to play these games. Our favorites are the strategy and thinking games like all of the tiles games and crazy contraptions. We have not even gotten to the real reason we bought the game, chess. The face maker adds a nice touch and makes my children laugh when they make their own carachters. Even my 4 year old likes to play the tile games. It is also nice to have something safe for the children to play, unlike so many other game packages out there.

Very addicting!

This 2007 version was a gift, but my rating is based on the 2005 version I have. We have convinced friends to purchase it because they thought it was so much fun at our house. And there's such a variety of games! Great fun for many ages.

Hoyle of course

I got the 2005 version when I thought I had purchased the 2007 version from Amazon.
But no biggie.
The games are fun and I like the extra's on it like The Incredible Machines that works on XP.
I have the old Incredible Machines that still works but the computer's nowadays are too fast and the time is up before you blink once lol.
Anyways the 2005 Hoyle games has lots of games crammed into 2 discs and don't mind it is just the 2005 version.

pretty fun

When I get bored and there is nothing to do I end up playing this game and I always find it fun even though some of the games I have never heard of.
