Good English Port but Gimmicky...

This is a good example of Taiwanese Mahjong whos biggest unique characteristics for me are the 16 tile hands and the progressive scoring bonus for winning consecutively as the dealer.

Im enjoying the game so far and even though all of the screenshots are in Chinese, it does play nicely in English (comeplete with a Wesernized tile set) with very few examples of weak translations as is often the case of a game catering primarily to an Asian audience. It was free but I have to imagine there eventually will be some sort of IAP offered to unlock the rest (but I havent gotten that far yet). I think my only whine at this point is that while I appreciate it throwing in some twists with each city, I hope they dont use timed turns in all of them. The second stage, Seoul, only allows you 8 seconds to make your moves and Im afriad it might only get shorter as the game continues which, to me, is a weak way to make the AI appear more challenging. I do, however, love the games very detailed statistics separate for each City (even tracking which specialty hands youve achieved per city) and stuff like your quickest number of turns in a hand to achieve a Mahjong.
