THIS CD IS SO MUCH FUN. IT IS THE ONLY GAME I HAVE FOUND WHERE PACHISI IS FEATURED. I HAVE FUN PLAYING ONLINE OR OFFLINE WITH THIS GAME AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE FACEMAKER FEATURE!

Lots of fun but tough to load on mac OS X

This is a great collection of old fashioned games. I can't get into those complicated software games that require hundreds of hours just to learn but this is easy and challenging. The only problem is that it took hours to figure out how to load it into an OS X system on Mac. I had to call Apple as it didn't do it automatically. Once in, it was great but - ouch!- what a headache!

This is an excellent compilation of board games.

This CD more than lives up to its promise. There are so many games you could spend years getting to them. The checkers game is impressive because it is 3 dimensional, not like the mechanistic shareware programs you thought were good. The characters you play against add a lot to the games too.

... I had to find a way to get back to Hoyle, it's realistic, personal and even a little funny (like the characters we suit ourselves with). The CD was very easy to install, the contents were more than I expected because I received a bonus backgammon for my Palm Handheld. Good choice.

Hoyle Board Games is wonderful family fun. Placer Racer is totally addictive, the chess game is pretty good, and the other 14 games are fun too. My 10 year old loves the program, and I do too. There's Majhong Tiles too, which I had never played before, but the program makes it so easy to learn new games. There is a strategy guide that comes with the game. It's a small book with all the rules and tips for playing each game.
