Takes away from the experience as graphics and are too small. I have played the Nikakdouri -large graphics, as well as my other favourite - Mahjong Epic 2 - using the food icons large and easy to get into the game..
Buyed this game due to the modern feel of it, with the beverages, tea tiles and the backgrounds such as the silver polished one to choose from. It takes you straightaway to a board to play when you enter, but you have the ability to choose which board you will like to play and earn rewards. It has flag and alphabet tiles too.
I've had this game for a couple of years, and I've only managed to reach level 7!! It is a challenging, addicting game, focusing on spotting on planning ahead if you can. Visually it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but as its so addicting its fine that its not an "eyesore". Because I enjoyed this game so much, had difficulty finding another game like it-the only other ones that I've seen is Mahjongg Dimensions Deluxe (which I have completed and it is also quite challenging).
So to those that may think its like the rest of the Mahjongg games, it is not-it is better!.
