About this product

Product Information

Another entry in the long-running Hoyle series by Sierra, Hoyle Solitaire and Mahjong Tiles pairs two historically popular solo games to give you nearly unlimited play with these venerable classics. <br><br>The card playing portion, Solitaire, provides 30 variations from time tested favorites to challenging games such as Scorpion and Beleaguered Castle. Although containing slightly more than 30 variations of Mahjong layouts, a facility to create your own tile layouts is included, thus making the combinations endless.<br><br>Hoyle Solitaire and Mahjong Tiles offers both Internet and head-to-head same-machine multi-player action. Nearly every game in the collection contains an onscreen pull-down menu that provides access to rules, regulations, game modifications and adjustments, timer controls (if applicable) as well as a statistical record for all games played. <br><br>Card decks can be customized (choice of card back patterns) and backgrounds selected as a backdrop to your "table." Animations can be toggled on or off and the game comes with several musical selections with an option to stifle them altogether if you wish. The game is easily portable to laptops thus providing gameplay away from the home. <br><br>With Hoyle Solitaire and Mahjong Tiles, you'll never have to worry about bending your cards or losing your tiles again!

    Easy to play and easy on aging eyes.

    The Mahjong Tiles have a tan, rather than white background, that makes the symbols easier to see. The newer games with the white tiles and skinny symbols are more difficult to see. So happy to have found this older version of Mahjong!

  • Most critical review

    Very limited features

    Klondike: No Hints, no recognition of a win or a loss, limited Undo, no access to seeing all the cards in the deck. You're better off with a deck of paper cards.

  • Good game

    Good game, could have a few more features such as being able to choose one, two or three suits to play spider solitaire or even an undo button. I’m not finding those selections. So I feel like I’m getting by but overall good game. Thank you!

  • Buy something else.

    I ordered hoyle solitaire to run on Win 10. It works, but poorly. Cannot use my magnifier with it. It does not fill the entire screen and the help does not work. Poor graphics.
