Don't buy this game for the bridge.. October 31, 2006

unless you are a glutton for punishment. You will be consistently dealt many bad hands. You will see many 4 - 6 point hands before you see one over 12. A quick survey of ten hands showed 7 hands with under 15 points between my partner and myself. As a result, you will be thrashed by your computer opponent. They give you three levels, easy, intermediate, and hard. You get the same bad hands with all. I don't see the difference.
In addition, your partner provide many insane bids. Very frustrating.
And its all too bad because the graphics are great, the presentation is logical, and even the music is good.
Its like they do a good job with everything but the card playing part.
It makes you wish they would come out with a new, upgraded version.

 bridge and cribbage very defective July 12, 2005
S. McGill
The bridge game doesn't adhere to basic bridge rules. The experts play as novices. A partner makes errors in plays, losing the contract. I like that you can delete the player's faces on this one game.
Cribbage rotation of deal gets stuck. I dealt 7 times in succession. Frustrating. It does count fast. You can backup and change the crib cards if the 'up' card is not to your advantage. That was is fun way to cheat

I'm sorry I had to give this game even one star. This game pack is so full of programming bugs it's ridiculous. Don't waste your money.
Spider October 21, 2002

I enjoyed playing Spider on a friend's computer -- the game came with the XP version of windows. I looked for a copy of the game so I could play it. If that's what you're looking for, I'd suggest buying Hoyle's Card Games. It has Spider, as well as at least 25 other varations of solitaire. I enjoy this product much more! :)
 Don't buy for pinochle May 26, 2002

Many of the card games work fine but there are problems
with pinochle:
The deal doesn't rotate between players. The deal
stays with the same player throughout the game.
The same player will get "stuck" with the deal
the entire game.
Even at expert level the computer partner and
opponents play like novices.
