- ==============================================================================
- by Lagarto & Armadillo Graphics, 1996-1998
-
- Four Winds is a computer version of the traditional Chinese game of tiles,
- Mah Jong. The game was introduced in America early in the 20th century and
- is now popular all over the world.
-
- We're sure you'll find Four Winds almost as challenging and fascinating
- as the real thing. There are several rule presets you can choose from
- (Japanese, Classical American, Contemporary European, etc.), and you
- can define the player characteristics of your opponents. You'll certainly
- enjoy the beauty of the graphics, and ease and smoothness of the playing.
- You can concentrate on your strategy and leave the tedious part (dealing,
- scoring, etc.) to the computer. A comprehensive help file is included,
- explaining all the rules and discussing the playing strategies.
