I’d never
played the game of Mah Jong until I played it on a DS game a year or so ago. It
appears as a minigame in James Patterson Women’s Murder Club, Games of Passion
– a feature that I’d really enjoyed. So when I spotted Mah Jong Quest
Expeditions I decide to give it a go.
For those
of you who have never played Mah Jong, it is a tile matching game. The trick is
to match and remove the tiles in the order that enables you to clear the whole
board.
You can
play three different versions of the game in Mah Jong Quest, with different
modes available in each. In Kwazi’s Quest you don’t have to clear the whole
board, just sufficient to match the black and white hat tiles, and there are
all sorts of special tiles available, to enable you to make additional moves in
order to clear more tiles. You play against a timer, work your way through a
number of levels collecting points and have a limited number of lives available
(you lose one whenever you run out of time) but do collect more along the way.
Some of the boards in Kwazi’s Quest are quite challenging, but that’s what
makes them so good.
If you
choose to play the puzzle game, you a presented with a series of boards of
increasing size, that don’t have to be completely cleared, but once again you
need to match the black and white hat tiles.
The classic
game is completely what you would expect, the traditional game of matching
tiles to clear the board.
I really
enjoyed the challenge of the game, with Kwazi’s Quest being my preferred method
of game play. You do have to be a fan of Mah Jong however, as there is nothing
else involved in this game – no other puzzles, no hidden object scenes – it’s
just Mah Jong in all it’s glory.
