Summary: Nice gameplay but still buggy
Review: A nice game overall, with cool graphics and music. However, thorough product testing doesn't seem to have been high on Microsoft's list of things to do.These are the bugs I've found after playing this game intensively for a week: Go Fish: If you're the only player left with cards the game doesn't know what to do. You can click all you want on the pile, on your cards, on the other players... but you're going nowhere. Quitting the game (and losing the score) is the only way out. Canasta: This is the card game I bought this package for. The computer plays a really nice game, but has the following bugs: First, after all players have exchanged their red 3's, the game still insists on checking for red threes in the player's hands after every draw from the pile. Second, even though one of the rules of Canasta is that you cannot go out before you get at least one canasta, the computer players regularly go out this way. This seems to happen when the last card on the player's hand is a Joker that would complete a Canasta. Instead of doing so, the computer discards the joker, leaving you with an illegal hand. Although the computer players are allowed to this, one is not. I've also seen (though it's usually too fast to be sure) some players, even myself, getting skipped. I'm still trying to prove this one is going on. One final annoying bug has to do with the computer character's speech. It seems hard-coded to respond to certain events (i.e.: groan if you make a nice play). But they will also do this even if they're playing as your partner. Overall, the game is good and offers nice game play. I haven't tried the online options yet. But the bugs eventually interfere with the otherwise decent gameplay. Finally, contrary to another review I saw here about this product, the game does offer several variations of 1-deck and 2-deck solitaire games.

Summary: Spider
Review: 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! :)

Summary: Where are the solitaire games
Review: I like the way you can choose your own avatar. The music in the back ground is nice. I just thought I'd be getting more than one solitaire game and there's no poker either.

Review: I'm glad I read your reviews!
I read that this game DOES NOT include the Spider Game!

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: 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.

Summary: Don't buy for pinochle
Review: 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.
