| DreamQuest's All-Stars
Games Pave the Way for Advancement in Casual Gaming
Games like those we produce here at DreamQuest are a far cry from
the Hollywood-like video games in which role-playing characters spray
bullets, slay dragons and maim rivals in fantastic virtual worlds. Despite
casual gaming's reputation of being simple and less entertaining, we have
broken the stereotype by undergoing a Cinderella-like transformation with
the installation of our new All-Stars series games.
With
the exponential growth of casual gaming in the past five years due to the
increase of cell phone and mobile devise use, companies like ours have
realized the need to create games that provide more visual stimulation and
challenge. Thus, when creating our All-Stars series, we developed far more
sophisticated graphics and plots more detailed than those of our
competitors.
Our All-Stars games have  set the new standard
in casual gaming, as recognized by Smartphone and PocketPC Magazine who
awarded Championship Spades
All-Stars best card game, with Championship Euchre All-Stars and
Championship Cribbage
All-Stars taking the #2 and #3 spots. In addition, Shareware-box.com
awarded Championship Chess
All-Stars its "BEST" Award, and Championship Euchre, Checkers and Hearts All-Stars have all been
awarded five stars by DownloadRange.com.
Come play our new
All-Stars games to relax, or for a quick breather from more tedious chores
and assignments. Many of our games can be played in 5 minutes, while the
baby is sleeping or between office meetings -- or for hours at a stretch
in a Zen-like trance. Understand our rules quickly and become a master of
the all new All-Star Series games.

Game Tip: In Cribbage Leading with a 5 is Not Always Such a
Bad Idea
It is not often that a player will
lead a 5 as the initial card of the play, but if you are experienced
such a move could prove advantageous. The following example suggests
where such a move could be beneficial. |
 |
 |
|
|
Example:
You lead with a tenth card, knowing that
the chance your opponent has a 5 card and will play it knowing you
need to peg is slim. Odds are more in your favor if you are holding
at least one 5. Your hand consists of four cards and you know the
two cards you discarded, which leaves 46 unknown cards. Of the six
cards originally in your hand, what are the chances that one of your
opponent's six cards is a 5, considering you have one? The
percentage of 5s left in the unknown 46 cards is 3 divided by 46 or
6.5%.
Let's also say that you have three tenth cards in your hand,
which means that there are thirteen tenth cards left out of the 46
unknown cards. What is the possibility that at least one of your
opponent's six cards will be a tenth card? The percentage of tenth
cards left in the remaining 46 cards is 13 divided by 46 or
28.3%.
You have four holes that still need to be pegged. This is a great
opportunity to get two points quickly so that you only have to worry
about two holes and not the full four points.
As the above tenth card example shows, it is less likely that
your opponent will have a 5 than a tenth card. Not only that but if
you were your opponent would you fifteen a tenth card knowing that
your opponent probably has a 5 to go along with the tenth card and
needs to peg? So you are left with the 5 as the
lead.
