Game of the Winds is a Shanghai-style tile solitaire for the Classic Mac by Martin Cordsmeier, first released in 1998 and updated through 2002. Its title is an English rendering of the Chinese name Pung Chow, and it brings the familiar matching-tiles board to System 7 and Mac OS 9 in both colour and black-and-white.
Gameplay
Players clear the layout by removing matching free tiles in pairs. As in the wider Shanghai/Mahjong-solitaire family, only tiles unblocked on a side and on top of the stack are eligible, so the order of removal decides whether a board can be solved.
Versions and languages
Three releases are catalogued: version 2.2e (English, 2002), version 2.1e (English, 1998), and a German 2.1d build from 1998. File sizes range from roughly 410 to 610 KB.
System requirements
The game runs on 68K and PowerPC Macs under Mac OS 7 and is compatible through Mac OS 9. It looks best in 256 colours but the author also supports plain black-and-white displays for older hardware.
