 | | Hoyle was an old man when he hid his hexes in his Book of Games, but he still was the master of his craft. | | | They're called 'hucksters', and supposedly Edmund Hoyle was the granddaddy of them all. | | | Now, Hoyle's been dead a long time, but there's a story that's been passed down telling about the dark side of a huckster's powers. |

| | IMG Review: Hoyle Word Games |
| | Unfortunately, despite Sierra's dedication to Hoyle, their Web site seems to be unsure of whether his Christian name was Edmund or Edmond (it was the latter). | | | Aside from not telling you about Hoyle himself, the manual is actually very good, and a worthwhile document in its own right. | | | They'll also make you cogitate and maybe even expectorate, but you'll keep wanting to come back for more. |
