Hi.
Sounds fascinating, and I really doubt toodle tiles got even a quarter of
those rules in, ---- then again, aph weren'texactly known for complex games,
or games that really were aimed at adults (indeed even their documentation
is to a sighted teacher or care assistant of a blind person).
Beware the grue!
Dark.

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.

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!

Hi Dark,
Actually, as I recall Tootle Tiles from APH is basically the same concept
as Mahjong. So there is one example of an accessible Mahjong game that I
know of. :D
Cheers!

Hi Nancy.
I'm afraid there is no accessible mahjong that I have heard of, and
only
one version of draughts, (or checkers as it's known in the states),
included on I believe volume 4 of the games from www.azabat.co.ukk,
though these are fairly expensive, and (in my own opinion), a little too
simplistic for the price unfortunately, but they do have a demo cd
available for you to try for yourself, which I'm sure they wouldn't mind
posting outside the uk.
Still, your welcome to check them out.
It's actually a shame Ian humphries never did a draughts/checkers game,
or mahjong, especially sinse I have no idea how to play mahjong but
would
be interested to learn :D.
Beware the grue!
