Mah Jongg Games For Windows
- Curse Of Ra
Next generation version of the classic mahjongg game, featuring arcade standard graphics. It introduces new elements such as bombs, magnets and walls, and uses the one-layer two-angles arcade rules. Work your way through 50 cleverly designed levels with increasing difficulty. Play in single or multiplayer modes, and make your own levels with the included editor. [Windows] - Dragons
Tournament style Mahjongg Solitaire game. Features high score list and progress meter which tracks how well you're doing based on your previous game. Excellent graphics with beveled wooden tiles. However, the game insists on running full-screen rather than in a window, and the gamepieces can sometimes be hard to distinguish on the dark tiles. [Windows] - Four Winds Mah Jong
Four Winds is based on the traditional Chinese board game of Mah Jong, usually played by four players. In Four Winds a human player has three computer opponents. You can select your opponents from four different types of players: Beginner, Defensive, Expert and Limitmaker. The game features several varieties of the rules and scoring, with eight pre-defined rule presets, which cover the basic variations (e.g., Japanese Riichi, American traditional, Hong Kong Mah Jong and European contemporary).
