Crude and clunky - Version: 1.0.1, 7/5/2008 07:13AM PST

GUI violates the last nine years of Macintosh conventions for no good purpose, unless you're nostalgic for System 7. Goes to full-screen by default. Embarrassingly cheesy opponent voices and animations have to be turned off individually. It likely works well, but it's too damned ugly to be enjoyable.
Update from Retail Boxed Version - Version: 1.0.1, 4/30/2008 05:43PM PST

I bought the Retail Boxed version 1.0 at the Apple store. I downloaded the "digital" version 1.0.1 from VersionTracker. The download version will not accept the registration code from the boxed version. I have been to the "EncoreUSA" and the "Mega Mac Game Store" with no joy. (:-( Looks like those of us who have the Retail Boxed Version from the Apple Store are being left out in the cold!
Great program - Version: 1.0.1, 4/29/2008 08:46AM PST

I've played this program in all previous versions, but had to quit with Leopard (no classic support). So when the MacOS X version finally came out, I got it right away. It plays great, and is very similar to previous versions. Graphics are a little slow on older machines but it still plays smoothly. Hoyle Card Games has all the classic games plus is the source of many games not available from anywhere else (Canasta for one). Program options for game play, card decks, backgrounds, et al are all user definable so you can set it up to what you like for play. Face Maker (for your image) does not let you import any photos and instead you have to use a supplied face or create a "cartoon type" image for you. It would have been far better to allow the import of a jpeg image, but this is a very minor point.
Overall a great way to relax and have fun playing cards.

In short, if it installs and runs, game play is very good. But if you need support, forget it.
