Hi Dark, I suspect that they probably didn't even try. The more I think about it, the likelier it seems that Tootle Tiles is probably just another of the mahjong tile matching games, which isn't the same thing.
Please Note: That's just my guess. I haven't checked out the game to know, it's just one of those suspicions I have. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2012 7:10 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Checkers, Mahjong 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!
