Video Game Reviews of Hoyle Card Games 2005
Customer Review: My Partners in Euchre Never Bid on Purpose!
Summary: 3 Stars
I like playing Euchre, but what makes me mad is that I seldom get a decent hand compared to my partner and my opponents. Almost every time I bid it is pushing my luck, because my hand is lacking key cards and I have to depend on my partner. Sometimes my partner is helpful, but too many times after a hand is played I review the cards as delt to all players and find that my so called partner had a great hand, and I mean great, and he passed and never bid. This causes us to lose games we should be winning. On the other hand I've noticed that our opponents have unbelievable hands most of the time. This game does require some skill, but nothing beats having good cards and when the opponents almost always are delt the better hands game after game, it gets boring so I go to other games. Essentially this game as designed is rigged. You don't feel like everyone has an equal chance to win, you always feel that the opponents can read your mind and always seem to have the key cards. For example, I aways have cards that force me to follow suit when a card is led, but I notice time and time again that the opponents are conveniently out of the suit led and can trump to win a trick and one of the partners aways seems to have the cards missing in the other partner's hand. When you play a game enough you can tell by the feel of the game if things are just "too clever" to happen by chance. This game would be a great game if there were true randomness instead of the controlled play. Playing this game is like gambling in a casino where the odds of winning are controlled by the casino owners.Customer Review: It's Great

Summary: 5 Stars
Fun card games for all the family. My daughter likes Go Fish and Old Maid. My wife likes Gin and Hearts. I like Spades. There's a lot more games than that. The Face Maker is a lot of fun to play with. You can change backgrounds and an assortment of items to place in each player's space, which is kind of fun. You build up points each game you play and earn enough points to buy these items. A separate Texas Hold Em card game disk is included which I have never installed or played since it doesn't appeal to me, but it is the big thing these days and I'm sure it is good.
