Gameplay[edit]
Hoyle Website
While shopping online for an hoyle card games download is easier and more convenient than shopping in person, it is also harder to know if you are buying a high-quality product. Even when the online pictures are an honest representation of the item, it is hard to see any tiny details in the photos. Hoyle Card Games 2005 is a compilation of various card games made by Sierra and licensed by Hoyle. Released in (when else) 2005, this contains 20 unique card games, as well as over 50 variations of Solitaire. With a unique Hoyle Bucks achievement system, player customization with the trademarked Facemaker™ and Spacemaker, and 12 unique NPC. The #1 card game collection is back and better than ever - now updated with a new look, better AI and new opponents to play against! Hoyle Official Card Games includes all of your favorite.
The package includes eight competitive card games, such as cribbage and go fish, as well as six variations of solitaire. Competitive games are played against the game's artificial intelligence (AI), or against another player. Two players can use two separate Game Boy Color consoles and connect them with a link cable, or use a single machine and alternate their turns. The AI can prove a challenging opponent since the game lacks any difficulty settings. Each game's rules are explained within a menu. Each player must pick an avatar to represent them before they can begin, such as a crocodile or a teddy bear.[1]
Reception[edit]
Jay Semerad of allgame stated that the game's lack of difficulty settings and tough AI can result in players struggling to win against the computer, adding that Hoyles' books are a better reference for players wishing to learn how to play than the game's menus. He also stated, 'Despite its faults, Hoyle Card Games is a good addition to any card player's game library.' IGN's Craig Harris stated, 'Despite its issues in design, the game's still a great purchase and a real keeper.' Both Semerad and Harris stated that players unfamiliar with the games should learn the rules elsewhere before trying to use Hoyle Card Games.[2]

Hoyle Card Games 2005
So great to get a chance to play this! I didn't have this exact version growing up (mine had cabin/space atmosphere options), but I was so excited to see all the characters I remembered as a kid. The newest renderings of the game ended up replacing several (Gax was an especially tragic loss imo.) Some of the jokes I really didn't understand until playing as an adult, so added bonus there.
Facemaker doesn't work for me (crashes the game) which is a bit of a shame, but just because I can't make my own uncanny valley avatar doesn't mean I can't select from the broad assortment of default uncanny valley avatars. You can't play Hoyle without it looking slightly cursed, after all.
Overall, I'd definitely say this game holds up. I've been looking for a way to play classic Hoyle for ages without partitioning and this version makes it easy. I'm on Windows 10 and just had to mount the disk image, run setup, and install.
