Encore Classic Card Games

Loved this game back in the day and still do!

Encore Classic Card Games doesn't run in Windows 11 home edition version 24H2 !

Genuinely the best way to relive playing the old Hoyle Card Games Collection from back in the day. I've had fond memories of borrowing a copy of the original from my Grandfather, spending countless hours playing Go-Fish - as well as aimlessly clicking around on other card games that 5 Year Old Me didn't understand - and have been dying to relive them ever since. If anyone else has had a past with the Hoyle Card Games, I would say you owe it to yourself to add this game to your Steam Library - there's never been a better time killer. If anyone from Encore Inc. is reading this, I only have one suggestion; PLEASE do us all a huge favor, and bring back the Board Games Collection too!

a very likable card game with many choices of cards to play.

If you're looking for a modern, immersive experience, look on. THAT SAID, this is a solid collection of a whole lot of classic card games (Hence the title of the game). Everything it its official branding to my knowledge. No renaming of trademarked games to a generic title besides the stripping of the old Hoyle title it once had. You can still see Hoyle in the winning screens, though. Also some odd games that are deceivingly fun despite being unknown, like Spite & Malice. While it's locked in a 4:3 resolution (800x600 I think? Maybe 1024x768?) and the graphics are straight out of 2001, there is a nifty feature (well, lack thereof) this comes with that fully redeems itself. NO MICROTRANSACTIONS! NO ADS! NO FORCED WAIT TIMES YOU CAN PAY TO SKIP! NO SHOVELWARE! NO REFUSUAL TO WORK IF WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION! Simplicity at its finest and it can run on a potato. Just for the sake of it, I tried to get it to run on a 2008 Netbook, and it worked flawlessly. That alone makes it worth the initial $20 to me... For the price of a few decks of cards you can't go wrong. Don't let my hours on record fool you, I have well over 500 hours on this, I play at work in between customers in the slow season (isn't grave shift fun?) and Steam does not track the hours when there's no internet connection.

Love the games , but wish they would work on Windows 11

Has several games not found for win10/11. A large number of games to play.
