"Totally serviceable" isn't exactly the highest praise you can give, but sometimes that's all a game needs to achieve.

Summary
Awful presentation aside, this is a decent enough digital collection of traditional physical games. You've seen it all before, though, and there's not enough refinement or imagination to warrant much attention
