Puzzles and Board Games Mega Collection

Simplistic game...which is what I was looking for. Just looking for basic board, casino, & card games. Bought the combo Mega Pack for about $20, which included the Casino 'Mega' pack, the Card games 'Mega' Pack, the Puzzles & Board Games pack and an additional Mahjong Ultimate. Many titles are repetitive. The Mahjong is included in the Puzzles combo. Several card games are duplicated across the Casino and the Card Games Pack. Overall, I'm unimpressed and frustrated with it. I've logged 15 hrs on it, and will still probably play it more. I've tried about 50% of the titles included. It's a functional time-waster/procrastination tool. Visually, it looks good enough, and is not overly animated which would only slow down game play. It does allow you to save a few profiles which hold your visual settings per profile, and your winnings/losses in the Casino games. However, my gripes however, are as follows: 1. No Game Play options in any titles, beyond very basic visual background options and sound volumes. There are 0 rule options, and therefore no variation available in game play. Ie. Solitaire is only the 1 variation. Dominoes is not a version which allows scoring points. etc. 2. Game difficulty logic is very simple, not adjustable, and for the most part not challenging at all. I've never lost at Backgammon once, can't lose at Mancala now that I've figured out the pattern of opponent moves, etc...yet, get crushed in Chess continually because I'm terrible. Honestly, I'm no good at any of them and I shouldn't be able to go undefeated against the computer. 3. Mancala has bug that freezes it. There is literally no support anywhere to be found. 4. No statistics of any sort, even just win/loss %s are not kept. That's exclusive of Casino which of course is based on a starting wage. I've haven't lost all my money yet, but it sounds like from the forums that there is no way to go completely broke and lose. So, dissatisfied. I dropped a few dollars thinking it would be better and more versatile than just Standard Microsoft titles of the same. But it did not include even as many options as those OS embedded games. There were surprisingly few Steam choices in this genre. I suppose I'm the only one that wants to play such mindless games. If I had it to do over, I'd have just bought the Casino Package for $5 or so and looked elsewhere for cards and board game titles. The Casino games I've played have been satisfactory, including Craps and Roulette. Hope this helps someone. Btw, I'm running W10

No two player mode? No thank you.

It keeps crashing and is buggy even when it works. Go and find something else.

A must have fix to every gamers arsenal 10/10

I lost my money paid for a product that I was not able to open , was not able to get any help and i"m up set to has lost $ 20.00 Thank you

Pretty relaxing. I installed steam and a number of programs for other seniors who request it. Good introduction to streamed gaming which opens doors to even more fun.

This game is missing features, some are game breaking. 1. Hearts has many variations that are commonly played. Examples include shooting the moon, passing cards, Omninus Hearts where the jack of diamonds takes ten points off of a player's score, using a kitty of three cards that is taken by the first player, or in some variants the last player, to take a trick in a three player game. In some variants Hearts can be broken at any time; in some the queen of spades does not break hearts. Also note that these rules are not all mutually exclusive of each other. The first trick does not start with the two of clubs. 2. Mancala can start with different numbers of stones in each starting pit, not only four. Mancala also has many variants. Winning conditions also vary. 3. Checkers - Three move repetition is a draw in Checkers and the program does not recognize this rule. This is a game breaker. Checkers also has several commonly played variants. 4. Chess has a huge number of variants and several of them are played online at various sites. Common ones include Anti-Chess, Fischer Random Chess and Knight Relay Chess. The Chess game needs more levels. Experienced players will defeat this program but people that only play Chess very casually are going to be frustrated. This program does not provide complete features for the games above. Other games in this program also have commonly played variants, like Dominos. This product really needs more features for the included games to be fully competitive with products already on the market.

Backgammon is fun. Dominos is fun but keeps erroring to the main screen

Игра супер, для тех кто любит настольные игры, рекомендую

очень примитивная игра, настроек мало, нарды нельзя настроить - длинные\короткие, в шашках нельзя бить назад... это то что я увидел в первые минуты игры!
