- Detailed description:
-
- Mah Jongg is a colorful and addictive solitaire game, based on a
- Chinese game that is some 3000 years old. It's played with a set of
- 144 tiles and the object is to remove pairs of tiles from the playing
- board until the board is cleared. It sounds easy, and it is easy to
- learn the basic rules, but success is elusive. Includes many features
- such as different layouts, undo, multiple saved games, extensive
- player statistics, help, shell to DOS, etc.
-
- Use the traditional Chinese tiles or create your own with the
- included Tile Maker utility. Two different tile sets are included
- and many more are available.
