Tootle Tiles? Wow. It sounds like a kid's game. <Smile> Actually, mahjong is usually a four player game. And there are many variations, from Chinese official to American to Japanese riichi.
One of the complexities in many versions is the number of fan, or ways to score points. In Chinese official there are 81 different ways. I did find a mahjong dictionary in the iPhone app store that is very readable. It gives you information on how to achieve each of these 81 scoring options. You can also score your hand with it. I may contact the author to ask that he make that part accessible as well. But it isn't the game itself, but more a tool for those playing the game. I'd like to be able to play against the computer or against human opponents as others do. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2012 4:12 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Checkers, Mahjong Hi Tom. Fair enough. I know the game was "based on" mahjong, but with the sort of childish presentation I wasn't sure how much of the rules actually translated, sinse for a start I believe Mahjong is a two player game, and it's not really as if the aph games are aimed at serious gamers. Also, on every machine I've tried to run the American printing house games on they've crashed on me. Beware the grue!
