Beautiful, Captivating and Funny

Im a cynic and an asthetic snob. Something I want to point out because its good to know the perspective of the reviewer. MobileAges Shanghai Mahjong is gorgeous, and while sleekness probably shouldnt impact gameplay that much, but it does for me. There are some tilesets I dont like, but thankfully, I have the option to select tilesets that fit my sensibility and also up the challenging aspect of the game. As someone who gets sucked into this game, its nice to have variety (tile art, background and layout). The fortunes at the end are an especially endearing touch that make me want to hit "new game" more than a productive citizen should. Sometimes you walk away patting yourself on the back, and sometimes you are reminded of a little life truism (and life isnt all roses, but it sure is funny).
Unexpectedly, this little game is also helpful in teaching the alphabet. Perhaps this is the real nugget of gold in this review, discovering something not immediately self-evident.
Costs less than a super duper mocha latte with sprinkles, but way more satisfying and energizing.
