Some games, like Hearts, aren't too difficult to learn and can be played without much prior knowledge. Bridge and Cribbage are best enjoyed by those who already know the rules but Crazy 8's and Old Maid can be played by all ages. Games range in difficulty from very easy to hard and complex.
The sarcastic critical voice is so amusing you might find yourself making mistakes just to listen to the dialogue. Rules of the games are provided but it's more fun to have the game narrator berate you in the tradition of You Don't Know Jack. The banter between computer-controlled players changes as each game progresses, as they whine when losing, gloat over wins and, if gameplay gets to slow, they'll let you know. Don't let looks fool you - Beatrice, the old woman, is an expert.
The computer characters are quite funny and come with a short biography as well as individual skill levels. The program has more than great games - it has personality. Are you dying to get a fix of Hearts but all your friends are out of town? Try Hoyle Classic Games, a collection of traditional board and card games containing clever caricatures and witty writing.
