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.
Hoyle of course

I thoroughly enjoy these games; plan to try to learn the other games on this disc later.

Mouse placement of player pieces is a bit touchy with some of the games. But overall we like this product.
Not great.

I used to have an old Hoyle board games cd and I liked it. I thought this purchase would be a safe bet, but I was disappointed. The game selection is poor. Most are just plain boring. Some of the games are difficult to navigate. Pachisi, for instance, is almost impossible to play. It takes several attempts to get your piece to move to the right spot. And the concept of "Hoyle Bucks" is pretty dumb. There isn't anything all that interesting to buy. Overall, I found this cd to be a disappointment. You do get puzzle games as well, but they aren't much better.
Beware, though

The games are great! I am addicted to Star Collector.
However, I recommend when you install to not allow it to happen automatically. Several Hoyle products want to install another program that is not necessary to play the games. If it doesn't come up with Hoyle cancel and do a manual install from the disc. You don't need more icons installed, more TSR programs running in the background.
I am not positive this was one, but I got three games at once. Two had it (Board Games, Puzzle Games, Card Games). Not sure which two had it. It will tell you that you cannot install without it. LIES.
I got the 2005 version.

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.
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.
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.
