This game is OK for the basics, but don't expect anywhere near a real experience here. I can't tell you how many times I get beat on the last card, with just one higher card, say a 9 high to my 8 high. Always with only one card higher! That's not real. Plus, too many of the players are idiots, while a few are otherworldly lucky. It's nothing close to a random draw, and that's what you need for a real experience.

I first played this toy at my friends house and thought, "How fun!" Of course then I wanted the game for myself. When I bought it, I played every game and loved it right away. This game rocks!

Hoyle Card Games is a great way to learn the finer points or learn a new game all together. This CD is free of bugs; the graphics and audio are very good. Hoyle are well-known rules experts.

It takes some time to get used to the fact that you have to play it with the CD in.

I read the reviews and was thrown for a loop because 99% of the complaints were talking about card games. I was looking for review of the puzzle games and I found only a few. Puzzle is outstanding, addictive, fun, relaxing and frustrating. What more can you want?
