mahjong holidays 2006 - a relaxing christmas game
Posted by debbie on December 12th, 2006
Continuing with my Christmas game theme, here’s Mahjong Holidays 2006. It’s a traditional mahjong game with 2 differences:
1. Of course, the the tiles all have holiday and winter pictures. They are actually very pretty, and remind me of old-fashioned card illustrations. The music is also seasonal, and (surprise!) is actually soothing and not annoying. Of course, there’s not much of it, so if you play a lot, you’ll notice the looping.
2. The second difference is that a lot of these puzzles are user-created. When you start the game, you are connected to the Big Fish Games mahjong server. There, you can play user-created puzzles or add your own. The games range from simple to mind-bogglingly hard, based on the number of tiles. These additional puzzles gives this game a major re-play factor.
I enjoyed this take on the classic mahjong. To get into the holiday spirit, download or buy Mahjong Holidays 2006 here.
