    1 out of 5 stars No on Macbook Pro   December 4, 2008
    Nelson W. Gaske (Chiacgo(ish), IL)
    Well... It looks like it would be really fun, but I got the game and installed it on a Macbook Pro, and it turns out it doesn't work on a macbook pro and they want to refund it but i am going to try and rectify the situation.


    1 out of 5 stars abysmal   December 2, 2008

    pretty much useless since the face of the cards are all but illegible even on the largest screens. if you are blind then this is a great piece of gaming software.


    1 out of 5 stars Unplayable!   December 2, 2008

    The graphics were just horrible. I couldn't read the cards. The game wouldn't go in to full screen mode. I returned it.


    2 out of 5 stars Too much graphics, too little card sense   November 28, 2008

    I upgraded from Hoyle 2005 looking for a bridge game that was more sophisticated. Instead, it was slow in card playing (flipping the cards as played), partners card were so small as to be unreadable and the programming had not been approved.


    2 out of 5 stars Not the greatest   November 25, 2008

    I purchased this game basicly for one card game (pitch) and to replace my old Bicycle Gin card game which Vista 64 won't run. I agree with the rest of the reviews, the cards are small and very hard to read. It looks like they are in the shadows and not highlighted. I also have an issue with the gameplay. In playing Rummy 500 it seems like the computer gets all of the high cards. I have yet to win a game which is frustrating. I paid $12.00 for it so I'm not going to complain too much, but I can't recommend it. If I can find a better product it will be replaced.
