Story:Six board games are transformed to the computer screen in the third Hoyle's release. Snakes & Ladders, Backgammon, Yacht / Yahtzee, Checkers, Dominoes and Pachisi / Parcheesi all feature, with animated graphics and sound effects. As there is no time-sensitive action, and the game rules are familiar, these packs were designed to appeal to a wider range of people than most computer games.
At least one human player is required - other players can be human or computer. The 18 computer opponents from the first Hoyle's game return, many of them modeled on other Sierra characters such as Larry Laffer, and again some play 'good' and some play 'evil'.Show more
You ever want to face against Sludge Vohaul in Dominoes? Yeah, me either. But you can certainly challenge him and many other Sierra adventure regulars in this third installment of various home games; a better rainy day kit than the actual board games because you can't misplace the pieces and Rodger Wilco is a better sport than your aunt, anyways.
