I don't know if you keep up with current events, but if you do you might have read about all the big lightning fires here in No. California. The skies have been filled with smoke since the end of June. It hasn't been a very pleasant summer for any of us. Outdoor activities have been limited for a lot of people. So many of us are catching up on our reading, watching a little more T.V. than usual and of course playing games on the computer. So that's how I discovered Mahjong.
I have never played before and all I knew about it was that it was a favorite game of the Chinese. I was a little apprehensive because I thought it might be too complicated for me. But once Jasper showed me how to play, I really got into it. For one thing the graphics in this game are super. I guess I'm like a little kid. Pretty things draw me in. And you have plenty in this game. Butterflies, the tropics, lagoons. You couldn't ask for more. The game itself is fun to play. Match up pairs of tiles.
There are two levels of play. I never made it to the expert level but it is there for those of you who are experts. After you catch the butterflies and matched all the tiles for that level you go to a valley and turn them loose. Then back to a harder level of play. Circles come on the screen and help you out if you get stuck.
I think I am going to try more Mahjong. I need something different to put some spice in my life. Give this game a try. If you're an old hand but don't have friends to play with this would fit the bill. And if you're tired of your same old Bridge game then this is something you should look into.
