About Game of the Winds
Game of the Winds is a board game which is also known as Mahjongg. However, Game of the Winds is not identical to the ancient chinese board game Mahjongg.
When you start Game of the Winds, 144 tiles are arranged on the board in several layers. Every tile is marked with a chinese symbol. The layout of the board is determined by a layout file. Seven different layout files are provided with Game of the Winds.
The aim of the game is to remove all tiles from the board. Tiles can be removed from the board by selecting two matching tiles. Two tiles match if they are marked with the same icon. Moreover, a tile marked with a "flower" icon matches every other "flower" tile. A tile marked with a "season" icon matches every other "season" tile. A tile can be selected with a mouse click if there is no other tile on top of it and if there is no tile next to it. Game of the Winds beeps if you try to select a tile which is not selectable.
A stop watch is started when you begin with a new game. The 10 best players may enter their names into the high score list.
