Quick Take
Would I Buy Again: Yes!
Learning Curve: IF you’re not familiar with some of the games, the instructions will guide you through the rules and moves needed to play each game. How well you play is, of course, up to you!!!
Who is it for: Being able to pass time enjoyably while waiting is a blessing for most. This game package affords you the variety and fun of being able to play your favorite board games!
What I like: I thought the graphics of each game appeared crisp and very colorful to the eye. Animation of the moves was effective. Although I didn’t listen to all the sounds associated with all the games, I thought their use was effective to punctuate the individual moves of each game.
What I Don’t: As with most applications, instructions are the key to effective use of the program. IF you know each game at all the instructions are sufficient. If not, you have to use your thinking cap a bit to totally understand each game’s concept. Instructions are always a difficult task to master.
Final Statement: Astraware Board Games is a very nice variety of board games to play. I think most will find many out of the 8 games that will satisfy their "waiting time"
