I agree with pennmom36. Everything works together beautifully, graphics, game play, and story. I very much enjoyed the historical titbits leading into each level. Can't imagine the next one being 'better' than this one, but I'll be happy if the quality is as good as this one.
I won't go into details as pennmom36 has covered those very well. I was missing the Adelanto games, but this one is even better and the graphics are amazing. Well done and thanks both to BFG and the producers. I'll be watching out for the next one. Don't rush though :) this one will keep me busy and I'd hate to see you sacrifice the quality. Definitely worth it.

The most enjoyable majong game I've played. The quests were fun and moved the story along, and the story was interesting (that's the first time I've said that about a storyline). The graphics were a delight and the challenge grew with the playing.
Not your average majong and one I'll be playing for a long time to come. Thank you BFG and special thanks to the developers for making an interesting and very different majong. Can't say I loved all the puzzle games, but enough of them were fun and interesting to make that a small matter.
I wonder when developers will pay attention to those of us who say "no untimed - no buy"? I have only myself to blame. I played part of the demo, thought it looked like fun, and based on my enjoyment of their previous games, bought it. I should have paid attention to the reviews first.
All the fun was taken out of this game because of the time limits and restricted moves. Sorry I bought it. Next time will read the reviews first and no more buys till the no time limit is restored.
I don't recommend this game.

As usual, I leave the gameplay details to those who have already described them well. I don't recall ever seeing a TM game with such exceptional graphic artistry. It's like opening a book of watercolour illustrations. Thank goodness for untimed gamplay because I spent (and continue to spend) far too long just looking at the details, the imagination behind the idea, and the professional drawings. I meant to write this ages ago, forgot, then in writing up a couple of other reviews (RARE for me) I remembered I hadn't raved about Brownies. Well now I have, and it's worth the rave. Oh yeah, and the game play is loads of fun too :D Enjoy!
The game play is described well by many, I'm just adding my applause :) From almost never writing reviews, I'm adding one for this super fun TM game. I enjoy TM games, especially if they have a 'no time limit option' because I enjoy really looking at what graphic artists do, and how game planners work at ingenuity. Brownies may take out the award for stunning artistry, but Dracula is fun, both to play and to look at. Finding the collectibles is a giggle and I like that Dracula's 'lady love' is not a size 0 Hollywood rip-off -- great reversal and sense of humour in the artwork and the corny but funny lines. Thanks BF this one's a joy, another one I'm playing for a second time already. I hope more developers allow their graphic artists to express their creativity, it makes playing even more enjoyable.

I don't often write reviews, but this JM is by far my favourite.Top game and one I have already started playing a second time. Enjoyed playing some of the other challenges, including the HO, but most of all, just loved the basic game. I usually like mahjong but not this one. The tiles were just too similar. But other than that quibble, the graphics were wonderful, especially the backgrounds.
I recommend this game!

The ingame tutorial explains the game well. I really enjoyed this and had to go back to find all those treasure chests that I missed. It does get a bit trickier as the game progresses, but the fun outweighs any frustrations. Left the music on this one and that would be a first. I love that there is a untimed play. Often I don't want to play against the clock at all, been doing that all my life, and I like to see all the details first time through. They deserve to be appreciated in this game. Well done! More please :)
I recommend this game!

One of the best I've played so far in all respects. The graphics are great, the play gets progressively more difficult, but in untimed mode (the only kind of M3 I will play), it's fun to work out the puzzle not just make matches. The puzzle levels are difficult and I'm skipping them till I've played it all out and will then go back and play again. That means to me that this is worth the purchase as there is still more to enjoy.
I recommend this game!

Lots of fun, great visuals and I like that the tokens change as the farm does. Enjoyable and relaxing, not overly challenging so good for a complete switch off, which is exactly what I like when I want to relax.
I recommend this game!

This is the first game I have purchased from BFG and wished I hadn't. No blame to Big Fish, but the developers ought to be ashamed of themselves. The first 2 set a standard that other M3 developers had to catch up to. This one won't challenge anyone, especially as there are some fantastic M3 games out. I don't often write reviews but felt I had to on this one, and will on the top M3 that I am enjoying. Don't waste your money on this one.
