JamesHackerMP Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 Anyone familiar with the game? (the real kind, see below) I'm not talking about the tile-matching solitaire game, nor the "american version" popular in retirement communities mostly among women, by the way. 2 Quote "We're not above nature, Mr Hacker, we're part of it.

The_Squid Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 I play with (against) my spouse's family at Xmas time. They're hardcore. I think I won once.... Quote
DogOnPorch Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) I have Go and Mah Jong. Haven't cracked either in years, though. Wargames took over my gaming in the teen years...great fun. This was a typical favorite of ours...took 4-6 to play properly...2 could...but a lot of logistics in a battle that sized. And Bloody April was small next to a beast like this combo... https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/8993/fire-east https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/7690/scorched-earth ...which were just the Russian Front in this series... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_(wargame) ...that all fit together to allow one to play WW2 in Europe/North Africa in detail. We never got THAT far...lol. Edited March 21, 2017 by DogOnPorch Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

I used to play it as a kid. It's the kind wherein the tiles have Chinese characters. I haven't played for decades..... Edited March 21, 2017 by betsy Quote
JamesHackerMP Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah that's it. The little tiles with the Chinese characters. Kind of like Gin Rummy in a way.
