Hoyle
Reviews and Complaints

Games are not accurate:

Spades - 100 pts should be deducted when 10 tricks taken. Are not.

Pinochle - Teams do not lead out all their trump and beginning of game!

Cribbage- Opposing team always goes first 9 out of 10 times. Why? Plus at times goes twice before other team.

Plus why the dumb animals? I am an adult. Do not want to play with

animals.

Do you have any set of Hoyle cards without them?

I use to have Hoyle Card Games Windows 7 which was perfect. Now I

have Windows 10 and cannot find another that will work without animals.

Plus is more accurate. Is there any you can recommend?

I purchased this game from Amazon and it did not download, please send me a CD version. I have paid for the game and either want a refund or access to the game.

I find it hard to believe that someone who can write code has no idea how to play cards! All of the games played with a partner are a complete joke. You tend to receive more help from the opposing team than your partner. Trumping when they shouldn't and throwing off when they should trump. Most of the plays made by your partner defy reason and logic. This is either a complete lack of knowledge of how to play or a sadistic attempt to frustrate users. Either ways it's a waste of money and Hoyle is shooting themselves in the foot. I will not purchase another game from Hoyle if this is the quality of their product and commitment to their customers.

Whoever wrote the Hoyle's Card Games program, has NO IDEA of HOW to play Canasta.
E.G.
Canasta -1: When a player has only ONE card left (and already has a Canasta) a card which the "other" side needs to finish the game, SHOULD NEVER BE DISCARDED. It is OBVIOUS that the player WILL take the card to finish the game.
Canasta -2: If one partner has only one (or maybe 2) cards left in hand, the other partner should put ALL jokers in hand on the table. Especially if a Canasta can be made.

It was a WASTE OF MONEY, buying all the versions of the Card Games, because they ALL had these stupid moves
You should put up in the Internet, an upgrade to ALL Card Games, reflecting changes like mentioned above.

I have played the Hoyle card games on my Mac for many years and love it. However, my husband got me a new Mac for Christmas and the games will not install on my new Mac. The message says to contact the developer to update the product for this version of Mac (Mac OS Catalina Version 10.15.2). Does your company sell a Hoyle Card game that will install on my new Mac? Please respond, I have looked everywhere I can think of and can find nothing.
Thank you,
Linda Best

Who is the idiot that wrote the card games? This person doesn't have a clue about canasta, gin rummy, hearts and all the other partnership games.

Nearly in every card game I play, the "partner" always chooses the wrong card to discard. I lose 9 out of every 10 games that I play.

It was a waste of money, buying cards games from hoyle, for the writer knows nothing about playing games in partnership.

I wish I know how to complain internationally, so others won't get duped by hoyle like I did.

Hoyle has made their Backgammon games in favour of the computer. I am an avid user of Backgammon. But I have NEVER see a game which the computer always wins. Every throw of the dice by the computer, aids the computer, whereas dice thrown by player is ALWAYS at a disadvantage. For example: 1. doubles throw by computer outnumber player by 80%.
2. When player separates his/hers checkers, computer takes it out 80% of the time
3. Even when player is almost finished (with all checkers in HOME place), the computers dice throw nearly ALWAYS favours the computer, catching up AND in most cases winning the game.

It is ALMOST impossible to win against the computer. Dice-throw ALWAYS favours the computer.

It doesn't download properly, it sends you in circles and you have to pay for tactical support. It is an embarrassment to big corporations. Two downloads I have purchased and both have failed numerous times. Some of the afiliates are big name companys aswell. Do not go there or you will have a pain in your neck aswell.

The Hoyle Casino 2009 pr0gram that I purchased through your company doesn't work. I purchased it on 3/24/09 downloaded it immediately and it will not work. So I would like either my money back so I can purchase it else where or have some help in fixing the problem
