Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Older version just fine!
If you own an older version, I would recommend you stay with what you have. The graphics have been improved but the sound effects in the new version, specifically Triple Yacht are annoying.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Good Value. Good for Mac
I've never bought Hoyle software before, but this package offers mucho bang for the buck, given that most downloadable shareware games are $20 per game. There are several addictive games in here, and they run flawlessly on my Mac Pro as well as my G4.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The wait is over
This was my favorite game by Hoyle but getting a new powerbook left me game-less. Thank you we all enjoy the games on this new CD. It includes a good varietyof puzzles and games. We would like to see more items to purchase as you win points. That has been fun. Well worth the price.
