Others say..."1 Day Fun + 1/2 Day Uninstall"I'm terribly disappointed. If the game worked fine, I would have given it a 5 star rating. As it is, I'll give it a 1 star for the one day of use I got out of this application. I had previously had a trial version that I downloaded and so was really anticipating some enjoyable card playing when I purchased the Hoyle Card Games software. After less than a full day of use, when I tried to run the program without the CD in the CD-Drive (as was stated I could) it failed to load. Not only that but it re-started my OUTLOOK program and completely wiped it clean. I had to re-set my computer to the default of a couple of days before to regain my lost files. After scouring through the SIERRA online help, I sent a message to their tech support people. The automated response suggested that this program was not supported nor tested on WINDOWS XP. The box accompanying the software clearly states otherwise. After hearing of so many others with installation and running problems, I am hesitant to re-install even if I receive a response from SIERRA. BTW, the Sierra website lists approximately 108 pages of problems, of which at least 12 pages are for HOYLE CARD GAMES. Think Twice! "the best"this is the best cd i have....i have enjoyed hour upon hour of fun with this cd....the graphics and sound bytes from the players are hilarious! "Stacked deck"This is agreat game if you like playing against a stacked deck. Most of the reviews I've seen talk about installation and run issues, but I've played these games a lot and have gotten to the point where I can call the game before it starts. I mostly play the Cribbage and the Gin. Play the Cribbage. Your opponent will get 3 to 4 fives for each of yours, and will get at least one or two absolutely killer cuts. He will also almost always have a hand that he can play directly into yours - if you have a nine, he always has a six. I've played Cribbage for 40 years and maybe have seen 1 or 2 24 point hands. Expect your opponent to get one per game. The Gin is almost as bad. My advise - don't win. If you think you got garbage hands before, after you win it get even worse.
"A LOT OF GAMES FOR YOUR MONEY!" I OWN THIS CD AND I HAVE HAD ENDLESS HOURS OF FUN WITH IT. CANASTA IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES, I LOVE TO PLAY IT WITH OR WITHOUT THE CD. IT IS ESPECIALLY NICE TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THESE GAMES OFFLINE WHILE WAITING FOR A PHONE CALL!
"A Tireless Game" Love this CD.... Get so you know all the players, and love their little mannerisms!..Helps my bridge game immensely!

What our customer's say!"Hours of entertainment with so many great features", From Pinochle to Old Maid, there's great games, and a ton of surprises. My 7 year old loves the face-maker and we always create our own faces when playing the card games. The actual card play is quick, clean and sophisticated. There's even a list of chartacters you can play with, and the all are animated, talk, and you get to use their skill level. I find Elaine to particilulary irritating, but a great partner. In today's world of video gasmes, it seems that younger people are addicted to the gimmicky play and whistles and balloons. Hoyle Card Games has the basic great games, plus awesome graphics, backgrounds and special effects. Bottom Line: It's a great gift for anyone who loves top play cards or a beginner. Just go get it!
"Not for mac os x", This program has to run in classic mode which is annoying and the picture quality is awful. I also don't like the characters and backgrounds - I prefer the boring drabness of my old ms windows game but haven't found anything like it for macs yet.
"pino", in pino your make bid should be 200 points not 20 points and bider goes out. I would like an up date as soon as u fix them
"Fun for hours!!", I absolutely love this program!...I just downloaded the software from my roommate's parents and I cannot get off the computer. There is such a variety games to play and at different levels to play it... Definitely a must!...
"Contrived", Unfortuneately I have to agree with some of the people who feel the game is to contrived. Once you get to the higher levels of the game, there is no strategy or randomness, as in real life. Ex. Euchre You can get to a certain point in percentage won, then the game slaps you backward 2%, at least. I find it difficult to believe anyone would be given almost exclusively, 9's and 10's, for several games. Games, not hands, in a game. Even the characters are yawning. On a positive note, and the only reason I gave it three stars, it's good for learning different games on. I must add I am generally unhappy with Sierra software. Perhaps Hoyle would consider giving it's license to someone else !
Read this reviews before You buy...
"Poor Excuse for Bridge", This software offers an "expert" option to play Bridge. After playing it many times, I have come to the conclusion that the person who coded this game has no idea how to play it. The computer players almost never reach game and they often throw trump when they shouldn't. They will discard cards that are sure tricks for them. Also, the claim option doesn't work very well. You can't claim yourself, the computer will do it for you but not all the time. Very aggravating. I can only speak for Bridge and not the other games on this cd.
"Hoyle Card Games", I appreciate some of the problems about sound & animation but mine were solved by un-installing and re-installing. There are quite a number of bugs, and Sierra support is non-existant. But, I've had endless hours of fun and for...thats more for my buck than 3 or 4 movie tickets.
"Hoyle Products Vs MS Windows", I have in fact installed this software on all platforms of Windows including 2000 and XP. I have had no problems in doing so. I would attribute most of the problems listed by other reviewers are results from user error. This is well written software... not sure it's completely worth what they are asking... but it DOES work on any OS from 95-XP, both Pro and Home versions.
"Hoyle Card Games -- Not compatable for Macs!", When I loaded on the Hoyle Games, my entire computer system went into a constant flashing mode. It rearranged my hard disk, and I crashed five times trying to figure out what was wrong. I went into "Help" and all it covered was directions for playing specific games. Even my husband who has a PC, had major problems and took it off his computer immediately. It has a beautiful package, and looks great online, but putting this thing on your computer is a real risk. I will never attempt to load this, or other games from Sierra, again.
"Mislabelled Specs for Hoyle Card Games 5 (2002)", I purchased this game with a labelled carton saying it was for "Windows 95/98/2000/Me/XP". After installation, I could not activate any sound effects, using a Windows 2000 operating system. Now the phone support states that it is not designed for 2000, and this operating software is no longer sisted on your website for the program. It is going back to Costco, and I shall find another source of card game software. Very disappointed.
