Hoyle Cards Games 2008

If you enjoy Hearts this is not the software for an enjoyable game. I play to unwind and relax with winning great on occasions. Heartwood Hearts is much better. Hoyle Battleship is fine (on another CD)...I'm not a diehard player of anything and only play for relaxing...enough brain work during the day. Save your money.

Do not buy for a Mac

The card games all restart with the same hand dealt every time you restart the game. It is a known bug, but they have only patched the windows version.
So unless you enjoy playing the same hand every time you play, stay away.

I came upon a counting error in the Crib. I e-mailed the info to Encore.
They ignored me! I have a picture of the error.The other games might be OK but I would not buy it for the Cribbage game.

Will not install on Vista.

Hoyle card game 2008 will not install on Vista. I know it says so on the package. Dont buy it if all you have is Windows Vista. It works OK with Windows XP.

Terrible

Tried to play cribbage on my iMac version 10.5.3. Program does not know how to calculate points. Very frustrating and very disappointing.

Virus?

Anyone besides me end up with a Trojan virus alert upon installing and using this game? To top it off, I bought two so now I have to worry that I may corrupt someone else's computer.
Terrible.

I had seen this program on someone else's computer and loved it. However, after I purchased it,I could not get it to download onto my own personal computer. I have the Windows XP program and am very disappointed!

TOTALLY COOL BICYCLE CARD GAMES IS 10 TIMES BETTER!

Spades is our favorite computer game. We have used Totally Cool Bicycle Card Games for over five years. It does a good job playing the game. I bought the Hoyle thinking there might be fewer player flaws than the Bicycle version. After 2 hands and several player flaws I felt that I had wasted my money on this CD. Hopefully we'll enjoy some of the other games. Now I'm going to try to find the Bicycle CD that will work on Vista.

I bought this game to replace Hoyle Classic Card Games, and was disappointed that many features I liked have disappeared. My main interest was bridge, but I don't like this version at all. Re-play hand and re-bid were good features for skill development and they're not there anymore. I'll have to buy a program devoted exclusively to bridge. Other games such as cribbage, gin and euchre seem to be pretty good.

They went to a lot of trouble for character creation so you can customize your image: different hair styles and colors, features, accessories, etc. Not important to me.
