Familiar games, done well.

Word and number puzzles

Letter Hues, Domino Zones, Sudoku and more, with hints and solvers when you are stuck.

Classic card and board games

More than thirty games in all, including chess and backgammon against the computer.

Mahjong, four ways

Mahjong solitaire in two versions (Chinese rules on the classic Turtle board, English rules on the Pyramid board; match pairs of free tiles, and every deal can be won), and four-player Mahjong against three computer players under either Chinese rules (faan, three needed to win) or English rules (points that double). Each has a coach that says what to do next, hints that explain why, a line listing the tiles that would finish your hand, and scoring explained line by line.

4 games

Chinese or English tiles

Choose the writing on every Mahjong tile: traditional Chinese characters (五萬, 東, 中) or English words and numbers (5 CHAR, EAST, RED). The game is the same either way, and the choice is remembered.

Style

Detailed cards and pieces

Eight card decks with royal portraits on the kings, queens and jacks, moulded suit symbols and an ornate ace, and thirteen chess and checkers sets, from plain flat pieces to carved characters: Egyptian camels and a jackal-headed god, Greek heroes and winged horses, a fellowship against a dark tower, and an animal kingdom. The Style menu opens on the part that fits the game you are playing, and your choice is remembered.
