Traditional board games include chess, checkers, Chinese checkers, dominoes, backgammon, mahjong, Pachisi, and mancala. Titles based on commercial board games include Battling Ships (Battleship), Line'em Up (Connect Four), Master Match (Mastermind), Reversi (Othello), Yacht (Yahtzee), Snakes & Ladders (Chutes and Ladders), and Scrabble. Rummy Squares is rummy with tiles in place of cards, while Placer Racer is an action puzzle game. As with previous versions in the ongoing series, players can create a talking persona using the face-maker feature before challenging an assortment of offbeat, animated characters, from an Elvis impersonator to a talking dinosaur. In-game tutorials are available for each game type, and players can amass virtual "Hoyle Bucks" to unlock music tracks, extra characters, new boards, and more. Each game also features multiple difficulty levels, board types, and rule settings.
Hoyle Board Games represents the cutting edge of computer technology with its beautiful graphics and involving gameplay, but the games themselves belong to history. You can always find opponents to play with from among the ten animated Hoyle characters: Bart, Elayne, Ethel, Gax, Harley, Jasper, Marvin, Maurice, Robin and Roswell. You can use Facemaker to create faces to represent yourself while playing Hoyle games on the computer or over the Internet, or you can choose from many pre-fabricated shadow characters.
