This looks really nice but $20 each? Ouch! :?

What I don't understood is news like this one
why displaying those kind of card games instead of games like "Exit nights" wich at least is original and professional looking (and even less expensive than those if I remember well)

It is a bit pricey, but if you're a euchre addict like myself, this software is head and shoulders beyond anything else for Pocket PC and clearly the only way to go. Fully customizable and on par, IMO, with desktop offerings from Hoyle.

As far as "professional looking," I think this program stands on its own merits. Even if it's not professional looking to you or me, I'd rather have a functional and challenging card game than a great looking game that doesn't have anything behind some flashy graphics. (Not a knock against Exit Nights, of which I know nothing about).

We chose not to post news about Exit Nights due to the adult themes in the game. There was some discussion about this among the team, because it was very exciting to see an old-school Palm developer make a Pocket PC app, but the subject matter was very unappealing to us. You're more than welcome to start up your own site and post on what news you find interesting. :wink: :lol:

Adult theme?
It's a card game, in a night club there is no nudity or obscene related content (as far as I know)
Even kids could play the game without beeing chocked at all (well maybe the rules may be a little complex for kids)
(beside I thought 99,9 % of the people using pocketPC are adults)
I understand if you are not posting about Aim production games (most of them are based on nudity, but I think it may be an error for exit nights)

Have a try on the game, maybe you will change your mind:)

Another option for the euchre addict, Pocket Euchre. I tried both and prefer Pocket Euchre, and its free!

What about TrickHand. Its 'more' Professional looking, cheaper, and seems to me to be at least as good if not better AI...

Know of any good cribbage alternatives for PPC? $25 is *way* out of my price range for a card game.

Yeah my thought exactly

Wasn't aware of this one, but will download it tonight. THANKS!

What about TrickHand.

You're not biased, right Birdie? :wink:

Trickhand does make some cool software and you should give yourself additional credit because you have alot more than just euchre.

I tried Trickhand before, and you're right -- the interface and professionalism are tops.

You gotta admit, I think, that the Dreamquest software is more customizeable and is probably better suited for someone that can spend hours mind-numbingly playing the card game. The difficulty levels for example truly make the game easier for beginners or more challenging for more advanced players.

Plus, online play is awesome being that my ppc wont support the java scripting necessary to play at places like Flipside or Yahoo (and would probably be too small to see the cards anyway!)

You're also right because Trickhand was half the price last time I checked. Your program is more than adequate to whittle away a little free time.

You got me....

Your quote:
this software is head and shoulders beyond anything else for Pocket PC

Just hit a little too hard to let pass....

More customizable?!?! Hmmm....

Thanks for the compliments..

I do need to add Multi-Player. I have it started, and will
definitely have it by the time we all have wifi built in.... But they
have me there!!! And it looks like you don't have to pay for
AppForge anymore!! Definite Bonus!

[mattp]

Yeah, as I re-read the head and shoulders thing, I agree -- you shouldn't have let that go. I think I was kinda trying to justify somewhat the price, which was questioned earlier.

My apologies, Birdie.

After all, you've made a whole lot better euchre game than I certainly ever could.

I will make sure I keep up with your site and look for the multi-player.
