 Hoyle Board Game 2005 August 24, 2010
Mitsuo Ando (Tokyo,Japan)
Even though this is 2005 version, most of the familiar games are covered. Opponents' voices, comments, expressions are interesting.
And it is good as a level of skill is changed automatically based on what I played.
 The previous reviewer is correct - backgammon does cheat! December 22, 2009
Dhekelia (Bedfordshire, England)
Overall, I like the games on this disc (I have the 2005 version so not sure how it differs to more recent versions). However, the previous reviewer is absolutely right - by law of averages the computer-oponent should not have as many great dice rolls as they do. If ever you have a single counter exposed anywhere on the board, you can always guarantee that it will get knocked off by the exact number on the dice every single time. You stand a much better chance of winning against a human opponent because the dice wouldn't be loaded. I do like some of the characters such as Hedda (although a bit overly-stereotyped she's great fun with her stern German accent). I'm not sure about a talking tyrannosaurus rex though! The only drawback is that I ran this on a new PC with Vista on it, and although it plays fine, you can't get access to rules of the game because when you click on this button, it says "can only be accessed in a previous version of windows".
One reviewer said that they sent their disc back because it didn't have the traditional board games on it. I can only think they've bought another disc by mistake because this CD certainly does have all the classic board games such as chess, drafts (checkers in the USA), backgammon etc. A very good CD all around, but they could have designed the backgammon game to be fairer.
 Backgammon on 2007 Hoyle Board games cheats!!!!! February 23, 2009

My husband and I both agree that this game was programmed wrong. It won't take all of its moves if it means he will be open to be bumped. Not fair. Has taken some of my moves. For instance, I have a 3 and a 6. I take the 3 first and it will move 6. Also, always gets what it needs if it means he can bump you off the board. If you are nearing the end of the game and have been bumped off, you WILL NOT get your # on the roll until he has all of his moves in the final area and out of danger of you bumping him off before he can go out. Sometimes you go to bump him off and it will take yours with him. Very screwed up.

If you love board games you will really enjoy this. My favorite is doublecross--I'm hopelessly addicted!!! There are so many options on this cd that you'll be playing for hours.
