Those who like to play card games will enjoy this
collection which is primarily for one player. You can while away the
time or practice your skills for real play against others. There are
seven games included but let's start with the best. CRIBBAGE is a great
game that not often found on computers but this version has all of the
features. Graphics are simple but adequate and if you know the rules you
can have a great game against the computer with the score kept up to
date on the on-screen crib board. Play FIVE CARD STUD against four
opponents in which all the odds are worked out by the computer which
plays the other four hands. This really feels like the real thing as
players attempt to bluff and will raise by appropriate amounts depending
on their hand. Lots of excitement when you know you have got a good
hand. Another version of Five Card Stud has you head to head in a simple
deal but is great for practice. EUCHRE is a game that I don't know but
seems to be a form of Whist or Bridge. Four players, playing solo or in
pairs taking tricks. Seems to play well. The others are JOYSTICK
SOLITAIRE which looks to be good but I can't figure out how to lay the
foundation cards, perhaps you will do better. Another solitaire game is
LAST TRUMP which I am not familiar with so you'll have to work it out as
you play. Finally there is TWENTY ONE, the good old Blackjack classic
that almost everybody knows. If you don't know the rules of some these
games get a book on card games and you will really enjoy playing.
Boot with Basic.
