 Needs more 'human' characters, 2008-05-25
I absolutely LOVE this set of games. The Facemaker is fun, the games function properly with only minor glitches ('losing' music rather than 'winning' music when Gin is won), and the characters, while after much play are fairly predictable, still add so much to the overall effect. The 'revenge' feature is great, and the animation is good, but could be expanded. The biggest beef I have with this game is the lack of human characters as alternates; playing cards with animals and aliens is silly and juvenile. More 'normal', though quirky, personalities like Hedda, Chloe and Elayne are needed.

The Hoyle card game is the ultimate card game ever assembled by any card company. It includes such games that are hard to find on the internet. Therefore, I recommend the Hoyle card game for anyone who love the game of cards to try it for yourself.

 My Partners in Euchre Never Bid on Purpose!, 2007-06-13
I like playing Euchre, but what makes me mad is that I seldom get a decent hand compared to my partner and my opponents. Almost every time I bid it is pushing my luck, because my hand is lacking key cards and I have to depend on my partner. Sometimes my partner is helpful, but too many times after a hand is played I review the cards as delt to all players and find that my so called partner had a great hand, and I mean great, and he passed and never bid. This causes us to lose games we should be winning. On the other hand I've noticed that our opponents have unbelievable hands most of the time. This game does require some skill, but nothing beats having good cards and when the opponents almost always are delt the better hands game after game, it gets boring so I go to other games. Essentially this game as designed is rigged. You don't feel like everyone has an equal chance to win, you always feel that the opponents can read your mind and always seem to have the key cards. For example, I aways have cards that force me to follow suit when a card is led, but I notice time and time again that the opponents are conveniently out of the suit led and can trump to win a trick and one of the partners aways seems to have the cards missing in the other partner's hand. When you play a game enough you can tell by the feel of the game if things are just "too clever" to happen by chance. This game would be a great game if there were true randomness instead of the controlled play. Playing this game is like gambling in a casino where the odds of winning are controlled by the casino owners.

I mainly like the feature where you do not have to worry about the CD giving out due to the whole program being on the hard drive.
