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.
