Detailed description:
Mah Jongg is a colorful and addictive solitaire game, based on a
Chinese game that is some 3000 years old. It's played with a set of
144 tiles and the object is to remove pairs of tiles from the playing
board until the board is cleared. It sounds easy, and it is easy to
learn the basic rules, but success is elusive. Includes many features
such as different layouts, undo, multiple saved games, extensive
player statistics, help, shell to DOS, etc.
Use the traditional Chinese tiles or create your own with the
included Tile Maker utility. Two different tile sets are included
and many more are available.
