It will also run on Mac.That's it as far as changes go. All the faults and all the virtues of my previous 2005 version are EXACTLY the same. If it wasn't that this version didn't crash my new computer I never would have known it was different.The interface is identical. It has the exact same players; the exact same options for faces, cards, navigation, environment, speed, music, speech, and reward points. It has the same instructions--not a good thing since the instructions (for those games for which instructions are even available) are pretty lame.It even has the same annoying quirks.70% of the time, the game I play is Canasta. There is one particular game, in which I am dealt a starting hand with four 5's and two K's that I get at least once in every session. I know the first two rounds by heart. This proves to me that nothing has been done to the games themselves in 2006, 2007, or this version 2008.Having vented all this, I still enjoy playing card games and this is an entertaining and varied assortment of games and the program (as long as it's compatible with your computer) works well. WARNING: On my previous computer (XP Pro with 4 GB RAM) it was a bit of a resource hog and I could only have this one program open or everything would crawl down to a halt. Now, with a much more powerful system, it doesn't seem to be as much of a problem.Before turning off my computer at night, this is the first step in my nightly decompression routine. It also keeps me entertained on long phone waits while listening over-and-over to boring music "your call is important to us..." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars fun games *by B*** on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023* Buy the game DVD. Don't waste your money on the Digital one!!!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great Game! Still has bugs... *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2007* I've been playing card games under the Hoyle name since the early 90s. the current versions are a far cry better than the originals (I think you might have had to put the floppy disk in the computer to get the game to play... definitely old school...)Anyways, I'm VERY happy that this is finally supported on the Mac platform, since any of the other card game programs for the Mac seem to be about the same level of graphics that the early 90s Hoyle card games had when I played them on a Tandy 1000... The interface is a whole lot more fun than the Masque games that are available for the Mac.I had to downgrade it to only 4 stars, though because there are several significant bugs in the underpinnings. Hoyle Bucks do not work in Cribbage (which is a real bummer for me, since that's my favorite game). Cribbage statistics are also not accrued. This has been a problem since the 2005 AND 2006 iteration of the game (played on a Dell before switching to Mac), so you'd think that they would have fixed it by now. And every time I start a new session and play the solitaire game "Penguin" it gives me the same deal, which since it's a fairly easy hand to win, I don't mind the extra [...] Hoyle Bucks for winning it every time. Hm... maybe I should start timing myself on it and competing with myself to see how quickly I can win the same hand.... At least all the subsequent games are different. I have contacted Encore's support with questions about these bugs, but so far have gotten no response.The video poker and video blackjack are fairly entertaining new additions.Overall, an excellent computer card game. Perhaps Hoyle should find a new programmer, though.
