The number 1 selling card game for your PC and Mac just got better! Review: One of the best PC games I have purchased - I have thoroughly enjoyed Hoyle Card Games 2012. I grew up in a card playing family, alas most of them are gone and I had not realized how much I missed playing Gin, Hearts, Pitch etc. I had no problems loading this to a Win7 laptop other than what I believe was the "online" access. Since I had no interest in playing online I just canceled out. Review: Works with 8.1 and Windows 10 - When our old PC finally gave up the ghost we ended up with a new PC running Windows 8.1. Among the many, many problems we had with 8.1 one was that the old Hoyle Casino game disc wouldn't run on it. Since my husband really enjoyed playing those games, especially Texas Hold `Em, he was very unhappy. So for Christmas I went looking for a Hoyle game disc that would run on Windows 8.1. Although it wasn't shown as working with 8.1, I immediately saw a customer question and answer indicating that it did. So I jumped on it. Unfortunately, while it does indeed run on 8.1, I should have checked it out further. Although it has dozens of games, it only has two "casino" games- Black Jack and straight draw poker. Not my husband's favorite, Texas Hold `em. He has played it a lot since Christmas and can't say he's very happy with it For poker fans, his biggest issues are 1) the system limits the amount you can bet but doesn't place the same limitation on the other "players" and 2) is even farther away from true random than most computer games. If you have a stellar hand, 95% of the time another player will have something even better. He has played the other games (mostly because the poker is boring) and noticed that for many games you need to have the audio on (no visual cues for draws, bids, etc) So if you are buying for your kids to play "Go Fish" you may want to invest in some headphones for them :-) If you are just looking for a lot of variety in games for kids, this is probably a good choice. So, I was going to do the research to find a better game option, but then I heard the news. Microsoft announced that Windows 7 thru 8.1 can upgrade to Windows 10 for free the first year. Yea!! Evidently they figured out that a system designed for a mobile device isn't the best choice for a desktop so there are two versions for 10. So I'll wait until after we upgrade to look for a better casino game option. Update 8-21-15 We upgraded the PC to Windows 10 and the game continues to function with no problem and no need to reinstall. ## Features - Beautiful polished user interface with smarter navigation and menu - Larger easy-to-read cards brings the action closer - Smarter game logic keeps the stakes high ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B005BLAJ68 | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,044 in PC-compatible Games | | Date First Available | July 8, 2011 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Model Number | WDE553800F021 | | Manufacturer | Encore Software | | Manufacturer Recommended Age | 10 years and up | | Our Recommended Age | 5 - 20 years | | Product Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.6 x 7.8 inches; 3.2 ounces | ## Images ![Encore Software Hoyle Card Games 2012 AMR - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ItREZl+XL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best PC games I have purchased *by K***R on September 5, 2013* I have thoroughly enjoyed Hoyle Card Games 2012.

I was afraid from some of the other reviews that it wouldn't work for Windows 10. I loaded it on both my new laptop and my new desktop which both have Windows 10. The laptop loaded the first time. The desktop took a couple of times. Be sure that there are not any other programs running. Well worth the time it took to load properly. The 2015 version of these games is not very good, so I am very grateful that this version worked for Windows 10. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/3807288-encore-software-hoyle-card-games-2012-amr](https://www.desertcart.at/products/3807288-encore-software-hoyle-card-games-2012-amr) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
