There are a ton of card and board games out there to play.

Card Games:

Hoyle's of course came up with some great card games, there's also good casino type games with slots, baccarat, poker, roulette, bingo, and so much more. I used to have a card game called Best of Cards which had just about everything like go fish, old maid, rummy, gin rummy, gin, pinochle, I think it had 50 different card games total. In the cards we've come a long way from plain old solitaire!

Board games:

I used to spend countless hours playing Monopoly for PC. I had both versions of Monopoly, the plain old school Monopoly and the Here and Now Monopoly, but my favorite was the Here and Now Monopoly. It had modern landmarks like the mall of America and Disney world. It also had airports instead of railroads, and instead of usual electric company/waterworks it had cell phone provider and internet provider. The little pieces were different too, they had french fries, a sneaker, and a laptop just to name a few. Monopoly Here and Now was my all time favorite PC board game, there was so much you could do, and you could also customize your own rules. The graphics also were amazing in that game.

Then there's scrabble, same as the real life scrabble, but you play against the computer (known as Maven) I also had a lot of fun playing scrabble. You can also customize the rules in this game as well as the difficulty of Maven's knowledge. You can also choose which background you would like they have some pretty scenes to choose from, or you can make your own.

There's also a ton of other board games out there that I haven't had the opportunity to play such as Life, and Clue to name a few.

So I would like to know what are your favorite card and board games for PC and which ones would you recommend to me based on my interests provided?

Scrabble is my favourite board game. Actually it's the only one I ever play these days. It's a classic. :)

Scrabble, chess, uno, gin-rummy all these are pretty sociable games.

Heh, I like mohjong ^_^
But there are too many pieces!!
The feel and look of the tiles is what captured my eye but the setup is long and percarious and the play is longer...
so I've settled for the comp mohjong games instead!
No pieces to loose ^_^
