About
Six board games are transferred to the computer screen in the third Hoyle's release. Snakes & Ladders, Backgammon, Yacht / Yahtzee, Checkers, Dominoes and Pachisi / Parcheesi all feature, with animated graphics and sound effects. As there is no time-sensitive action, and the game rules are familiar, these packs were designed to appeal to a wider range of people than most computer games.
At least one human player is required - other players can be human or computer. Animated opponents, like in the first Hoyle's game, return, now entirely composed of characters from other Sierra games and with a "good guys vs. bad guys" theme.
