Software : Hoyle Card Games 2008 [OLD VERSION]
Rating: 
- Hoyle Card Games
Although this says (Old Version), I had the one older than this version for years. This one has many more features and games than the older one I had. Very satisfied with my order.

- Frustrating bridge game
Why can't someone develop a computer bridge game that provides the challenge of the bidding and playing hands? This bridge game is the only one I could find for my Mac and it leaves much to be desired. I find the idea of animals as opponents or partners inane and all the robots talk too much (one can keep the dialogue minimized but one still needs to hear the bidding).
This was not an easy install. I had to get professional help to get it working. Even then it seemed to reluctant to install or mount or attach.

Certainly a lot of card games on this! I only purchased it for the Bridge game, which is quite good. I can't attest to the others
Rating: - Bought it for Mac
This is a pretty good game for the Mac; it's a card game, so you get pretty much what you expect. There is a nice selection of games, so you can switch around if you get tired of one. The downside to it is some of the cornball elements like cheesy characters that want to talk and give bad one liners during game play. Fortunately you can disable that. The graphics are also a little low grade, and the dealing of the cards is a little slow for my taste in some instances, like when playing spades or poker. Otherwise, a fun game and good distraction.

I recenly bought this software mostly for playing Bridge. I was very disappointed. The program is deficient inthe following important areas:
does not provide interpretation of bidding
does not give any hints for bidding
if you made a mistake in playing it has no way of correcting it
does not show cards of all players at the end of the game for review
There is no auto play to finish last few tricks when you know the outcme certain
There is no way to claim last few sure tricks
The play is slow, requires double click for every action
I was very disappointed.
