Play the ancient Chinese board game in which you match neighboring tiles and fill up the board with stones. Each stone can only be placed adjacent to a stone that shares either its color or name.
As a player, you are presented with a set of 72 tiles, each marked with a unique color and figure. You place the stones one at a time on a board with 96 slots next to matching pieces. The more stones the played stone touches, the more points you earn. This basic idea of matching tiles becomes more complex with restrictions on the types of matches possible. Tiles can only match by color and figure, and the elusive four-way match is considered the best play.
The ultimate goal is to win the game by making the highest score possible. However, Mariko offers players other goals to achieve, such as using all the tiles or scoring four-way matches around the starting board. This software is proof that a game does not need many rules to be sophisticated.
Mariko's concept is simple, yet each new move offers a wealth of possibilities to be explored, making it the perfect entry for the deep-thinking strategist. Overall, Mariko is an immersive software that provides an exceptional gaming experience.
