Spyglass Board Games is not a bad deal for five dollars. You get four games that can be played in single player or over Xbox Live, but unfortunately there's no local multiplayer-
-Chess
-Checkers
-Mancala
-Reversi
How much fun you have with this game obviously depends on how much you like these four games. I've heard a lot of players say they bought this just for Chess, but have since switched to Chessmaster Live.. I enjoy all four of the games, but I was already familiar with all four of them before I bought this unlike some folks.
My favorite aspect of the gameplay is the ability to quick switch between all four games on the fly in both single player and in player matches online. Meaning you can be in the middle of each of the games and just change to one of the others if you get bored with it. This can be a problem online if you are playing with a stranger who decides they want to continuously switch the game type. But that problem can be fixed by only playing ranked matches, if you can find anyone.
Other than being able to use the vision camera for Xbox Live matches, there aren't really any extras in this game. No challenges or tutorials or anything else to keep you interested unless you are just a fan of these games. However, I still recommend it based on the fact you get four games for 400 MS points. You will get your money's worth, especially if you have a friend you can play these games with over Live.
And because of the lack of players still left online in this game, it is feasible to hook up with a boosting partner and knock out these achievements in an hour or two.
