Tug-of-war game
This is a game in which you hold 30 sentences each at the beginning, and when the game is over, you take sentences from the loser. Goal is to reduce the opponent to 0 sentences. However, if the game is not won within 10 rounds, it is a draw. Try to beat your opponent as quickly as possible. -
Role-limited game
The winner is the first player to five rounds, with the only restriction being that the player must collect the specified yaku. Try to get a high score by playing high yaku.
¶ Options
- Tsukimi-zake & Hanami-zake
- Ame-nagare (ame cards cancel above yakus)
- Sake cup as junk card
¶ Gameplay
- The initial match card can be chosen from either your hand or the field, and following matches from the opposite. This is unique as most (all?) other games have you pick the first match only from your hand.
¶ Compatibility
- Only works on certain Palm devices (monochrome screen?)
- Easiest is to use CloudPilot emulator with a Japanese Palm OS system ROM
- Playable on Sony Clié PEG-SL10 running PalmOS 4.1
- Use CJKOS or J-OS (PalmOS apps) to have the Japanese text in the user interface display correctly
- Playable on Android using StyleTap (without Japanese text support)
