Shih Dao is a solitaire game played with tiles. You start off with one tile in each corner and two tiles in the center of a rectangle shaped board. You place the remaining 65 tiles one at a time on the board. To place a tile on the board it must match in color and/or symbol. The object of the game is get a high score. The more 4 ways you get the more score you get. A 4 way is when you place a tile that is touched on 4 sides by other tiles. It may sound easy but it is really requires a lot of thought, patience, and skill to make 4 ways. There are 6 colors and 6 symbols in each tile set and 2 of each tile. The game is over when you can't place a tile or you have placed all the tiles.

This game is fun and challenging and can be quiet addicting. There are 4 tile sets and 4 boards included. You can change the sound files or turn them off. The graphics are good and the sounds are average. You can try it for 30 days free. Registering will get you new boards and tiles. There are also some free tile sets available for download.
