Great Escape!:

The "Tile Games" in this edition are a lot of fun. What's nice is there are several ways to play them. Our 19 year-old grandson enjoyed it so much, I had to order him one, too. What we liked the most was the "Slide Tiles." It's very addictive. Rummy Squares is also a good one. Any "Seniors" out there would enjoy this, but it's also fun for the teenagers. My recommendation is Go For It.!

I really wanted this game disc, but am reluctant to make further purchases, since this was a total waste of money. I am bitterly disappointed through no fault of Hoyle.

2) In pachisi, it is very difficult to move the pieces - it frequently does not register where you have dropped it.
3) Many of the Hoyle Bucks goals do not register when they occur.
There are other minor irritants, but these... more info
