Featured Game - Crazy Quilt
-----------------------------
Crazy Quilt is a game in Pretty Good MahJongg. It is based on the solitaire game
of the same name (which is in Pretty Good Solitaire).
The MahJongg version of Crazy Quilt is played with 108 MahJongg tiles. These tiles
include the tiles 1-9 of the 3 suits (Bamboos, Characters, Circles), with four of
each rank.
The object is to build all the tiles to the foundation piles, just like in a regular
solitaire game.
There are 12 foundation piles (four on top, four on each side). At the start of the
game two 1's and two 9's of each suit are removed from the tiles to begin the
foundation piles. The piles starting with 1's are built up by rank in suit starting
with the 1's, to 2's, on up to 9's. The piles starting with 9's are built down by rank
in suit starting with the 9's, to 8's, on down to 1's.
At the start of the game 64 tiles are dealt out in an 8x8 square, with every other
tile rotated 90 degrees. The remainder of the tiles are dealt to a stock pile, which
is turned over one tile at a time to a waste pile. There is one redeal.
In the tableau, only tiles which have a short side not blocked by another tile are
available. In the initial deal, 16 of the 28 tiles on the outside edge are available.
You play by removing available tiles from this tableau and playing them to the
foundations. As tiles are removed, interior tiles will become available. In addition
to playing tiles to the foundations, an available tile in the tableau can be played on
the waste pile if it is in sequence up or down in suit.
Crazy Quilt is one of the 55 MahJongg solitaire games in Pretty Good MahJongg at
http://www.goodmj.com/download.html . It is in both the Windows and Mac
versions.
