Boy, this is a heck of a game. I expected just
one more mahjongg clone, but was I surprised. First you roll the
dice, to see which way the prevailing winds are blowing; then to
see which will be the loose tiles, and the dead tiles. Then it
asks you if you want to remove the mountain tiles; and the idea
is that you will rebuild the wall. I still haven't figured out
exactly how the tiles go back into the mountain, the rules say
something about using one in the wall and discarding the other;
but, then I saw tiles get covered. Its something you gotta watch
for a while.
The prevailing winds show which way you can best move tiles,
otherwise you have to make sure everything is away from them,
sometimes worse than other games. However, there are
"special moves". You can change seasons, and change the
prevailing winds. It took me a while to realize that all you have
to do to change the winds are click on the directional tile IN
THE MOUNTAIN, and not in the pile.
This is a real great game and whether or not you think its worth
the money, its definitely worth the time to download, and at
least try it and you will find yourself hooked. After a certain
point in the game, it gives you a random register box, but its
not too irritating.
