Perfect set for solitaire fanatic! [Posted on 2004-12-24]
I own both Bicycle and Hoyle solitaire games but I play the Masque games far more. The setup - each moveable card is highlighted - makes new games very easy to learn, and the graphics are great. I did have a problem with the games freezing up (which is why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars) but a patch from the Masque web site fixed it perfectly. I have learned dozens of new games on this software, and enjoyed them all. I hope they put out more games soon. I would buy them without reserve.

OK Game - Installation Unfriendly [Posted on 2006-10-07]
While the games themselves are OK but Masque misses the mark with its unfriendly program installation. On a Mac, the program install in a users folder (whoever is installing) rather than the Application folder. If there is more than one user on the computer you have to install the program that many times (for each user) or drag the program to the Applications folder. If you take the latter option, the user must have Admin privelages on the computer in order to save game stats. Not an option in my household. There are no installation options other than what is hard-wired so if you do decide to place it in applications folder you have to manually move it after the install. Why chew up disk space with multiple itterations of a program and why use anything that requires you give Admin privelages to a user so they can get full benefit of the game features? It doesn't make sense.

Not as good as the old one that I had on OS 9.1. [Posted on 2006-11-05]
The four of diamonds has the number four, but five diamonds on it, which is irritating. More irritating are the cartoon characters wandering on and off, which I would definitely like to turn off if I could find a way to do so. There are not enough options on the plays.

I do like the choices of styles for the face cards, and am currently using the Maya royalty.

Best soliare game available! [Posted on 2007-06-01]
There are many options to choose from for solitaire games on the market, but none come close to the Masque system. Many tout their games/programs as "the best," etc., but they're not even close. I know. I've tried them. Masque has it all right. Don't be fooled by the claims of others. I was. Now I have the best one and I enjoy it on a regular basis.

Very disappointed in options... [Posted on 2007-07-08]
The games seem to have help functions that can't be turned off. The screen is not easily modified. Very disappointed. I have already donated the cd to charity.
