About this product
Product Information
Sierra's Hoyle Board Games is a compendium of 14 classic board games with three card games thrown in as a bonus. Up to four people can participate in many of the board games with a select few accommodating only two-player action. Opponents can be human or computer controlled and Sierra's free World Opponent Network (WON) provides Internet play for 11 of the 14 games www.won.net. <br><br>In lieu of Internet play, you can choose from ten of Hoyle's interactive players as computer controlled opponents or play against friends on a single computer. The computer players are customizable in terms of attitude and skill levels. Most of the games contain numerous variations that allow configuration of local "house" rules such as the mandatory capturing convention in checkers. Also adjustable are the music and background options in Hoyle Board Games.<br><br>Among the 14 games in the collection are Chess, Checkers, Chinese Checkers, Parchisi, Yacht which is an early Canadian forerunner of the commercialized Yahtzee (also known as Poker Dice) and Dominoes. Several other games also have more well-known counterparts such as Zen Bones, a form of Mah Jongg and Reversi, a modern version that bears close resemblance to the old Asian game known simply as Go.<br><br>The remaining half dozen games consist of Backgammon, Battling Ships (more well known as Battleships), Mancala, a game considered to possibly have roots as far back as ancient Egypt, Placer Racer, an arcade/billiards-style action game, the basic mechanics of which are evident in such early computer games as Tetris and Atari's Breakout, Line 'em Up, a four-in-a-row variation of Tic-Tac-Toe played on a larger grid and finally, Snakes & Ladders. <br><br>The game ships with a 100-plus page manual that gives an in-depth array of facts regarding each of the board games. These facts take form in various sections such as historical aspects that are covered in a treatise on "How the game evolved", followed by a section on "How the game is played." Other data is supplied through strategy and advanced strategy tips. <br><br>Rounding out the package are three bonus card games, accessible through the installation of a demo for Hoyle Card Games, a collection of 14 classic card games. The three open for play in Hoyle Board Games are solitaire, Gin Rummy and Cribbage.

- d***e (25)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseAn attempt was made to properly package it, however paper packing material was not a good choice for shock absorbance. The card panel cover arrived damaged. Please use more bubble wrapping in the future. That aside, the console came as described, I was given a partial refund for the damage, thus the value is worthwhile. Despite the hiccup, the seller is still highly recommended & did not mean for this to happen. I recommend them & am willing to purchase from them again in the future.
