About Japanese Style Tien Gow

Introducing "Tien Gow," a game played by four players using Tien Gow tiles. Known in the Chinese-speaking world as a traditional game that combines the aspects of "Daifugo" or "Poker," it offers enjoyment through luck and strategic moves.

We've made the game "Tien Gow" more accessible, presenting the "Japanese-style Tien Gow!"

Simple Rule Explanation:

Each player is dealt eight tiles, and in a counterclockwise direction starting from the dealer, all four players take turns playing tiles. The player who plays the strongest tile gains the right to play first in the next round, and this continues until all tiles are played. The player who played the strongest tile in the last round wins the game!

Although this explanation may seem simple, there are some rules, such as the possibility of playing up to four tiles at once, the existence of tile combinations that form the strongest set, and more.

Even if you think, "this seems a bit complicated..." - no worries! We've equipped the game with a comprehensive tutorial that covers basic strategies and how to play. Even if you know nothing about Tien Gow, you can play while learning the rules step by step.

Additionally, during play, there is a tile strength guide feature that allows you to check the strength of tiles at any time. Even when you're unsure whether the tiles on the table are strong or weak, you can grasp the strength of your tiles and the tiles on the table while playing.

Features for Enjoyable Gameplay:

  • Various functions are provided for your enjoyment even after you have learned how to play in the tutorial
  • Various AI personalities as opponents
  • The ability to play online against up to 4 other players / watch them play against each other (only 1 player can watch)
  • Statistical recording of gameplay, with the ability to view aggregate results
  • The ability to view score trends and results of matches against other players or NPCs
  • Features customizable rules, aligned with Mahjong, such as "Quarter Game(4G)," "Half Game(8G)," "Full Game(16G)," and options for continuing or ending the game with a score below 0
  • Rating system that scores your play across games, based on your performance
  • Ability to earn titles through gameplay and display them in multiplayer to express individuality
  • Over 40 achievements

This is a really great digital adaptation of Tien Gow! You can freely play singleplayer or multiplayer, the UI is very clean and smooth, and the traditional BGM and visual and audio effects really enhance the feel of the game. For example, the color of the text that pops up when someone plays 武尊 or 四大賀 etc. matches the color of the corresponding Four Holy Beasts for that player's cardinal direction. The only problems are some minor issues with scoring, such as 七支結 and 幺結 not combining when they should, when your last tile is a 1-2 or 1-5 but does not naturally win the trick, and some minor issues with translation, like the fact that 幺結 should be "Yiu Git", not "Mo Git". 打天九のデジタルバージョンとしては本当に素晴らしいです!お気軽にシングルプレイヤーかマルチプレイヤーができるし、UIもすごく綺麗でスマートだし、そして伝統的なBGMやビジュアルとオーディオのエフェクトなどもゲームの感覚を彩っています。例えば、誰かが武尊や四大賀などを出した時のテキストの色は、そのプレイヤーの方位に該当する四神の色になっています。ただ幾つかの問題点は、七支結と幺結が複合すべきなのに複合しないことと、幺結の英語表記が「Mo Git」ではなく「Yiu Git」であることのような、細かいことだけです。
