Gameplay

Place tiles on a large board. Each title has a color and a suit. Each placed tile must match the color or suit of every adjoining title, so eventually it gets difficult to place tiles when they have three or four other tiles near them.
I didn't get it in my first round. One my second go I developed a strategy which almost worked. But the third time I had a strategy that I think will work going forward. And yeah, that's it.
You can turn on hints but that's the only other feature.

Level Design

What levels? You can start a new game. No options. No modes. Just shuffle and redeal those tiles.

Theme

Barely any presentation. Just launch in. This one won't grab your attention nor will it offend your sensibilities.

Art Style

Again barely anything to mention. You can choose between the different looks for the tiles. Uhh, that's it

Quiet oriental ambiance
