ZOMG! Does this even work? I don't know. It's currently part of a Game Crafter order that I'm awaiting printing from. So what, then, is this fricking game?

 

The design behind this game comes from two needs I feel should be fulfilled. The first is just from, most of the time whenever I mention a desire to play a game a Mahjong, most gamers aren't even away that it is an actual game and not the Solitaire version. The second need is I want the fun and concept of Mahjong in a simpler to score and variable player version. And, well, I just want to do 40 custom dice again.

 

The game itself makes sets of Dragons fairly common and a way to shorten the necessary dice to achieve of Mahjong but it comes with a trade-off as, if you lure too many dragons, you will actually lose points. I also wanted a way for the round to end by draws like in Mahjong and the main way I found that to occur is with the Dead Wall symbols. This system, however, also fuels the Flower/Season scoring. And of course, the prevailing wind is also accounted for in this game. If it works, this will essentially be a very brisk variant of Mahjong although, possibly my most expensive on The Game Crafter and sorry, all, there is no way I can make this cheaper.
