Good tile-matching game

No problems with installation or stability, but you may burn through hours without even realizing it. :)

While the monkeys aren't as much fun as BMS, the tile matching is good fun -- and educational. My 3-year old loves this game. With all the options, my wife and I can set the difficulty, tilesets, music, and layouts to our liking as well.

I've played other implementations of this type of game and this is one of the best.

Beautiful game with lots of options!

Now, bear in mind -- I'm not an avid gamer - in fact I rarely play computer games altogether nowadays. My favorite games were in the late 80's early '90s when game play was paramount over flashy graphics.

I purchased this program after trying it out for a few weeks via Freeverse's website. This game is very similar to Activision's 80's version of Shanghai -- except that it's gorgeous to look at, has terrific gameplay, and is ...(insert drum roll here) ...loads of FUN!

I prefer games that are easy to get into, and continue to hold my interest over time. This review would be 5 stars, but I took down one star because under MacOSX 10.3, I can't play any of the audio tracks on the game. Freeverse software has indicated that a patch will be made available soon.

Highly recommended, especially for non-gamers that want a good, fun diversion every now and then. Perfect for kids and adults alike!

Beware: Not what it seems

Just a note ... this is NOT a Mahjong game. This is that (lame, IMHO) tile matching game that so many erroneously call Mahjong. If you're looking to play Mahjong against the computer, this ain't it.
