PREFACE Dear friends, THE GREAT WALL is a game invented by Frank Wong. Original Chinese mahjong has been attributed to Confucius, the great philosopher and teacher of ancient China. Chinese mahjong has been popular in China and in many other Asian countries since its creation, but for people with English and other language backgrounds, traditional Chinese mahjong can be hard to learn because of its design, characters, and the complicated scoring system. Mr. Frank Wong has had a strong desire to bring mahjong, a part of Chinese culture, to people from other cultures since he arrived in Australia in 1991. After many years of studying and understanding of other cultures, he eventually fulfilled his dream with THE GREAT WALL, an international mahjong game that has been patented and is now ready for people around the world to play. THE GREAT WALL is designed with English and other language background players in mind by using the world's most popular logical design. THE GREAT WALL has a traditional cultural background mixed with modern ideas. The game is easy to learn and lots of fun. Becoming an expert player comes with practice, especially when playing against those you consider to be good. THE GREAT WALL excels in developing thinking skills and intelligence and is quite different from other games. When playing, players will be highly entertainment by the game's fascinating varieties of formations, sensational designs, and unexpected amazing changes during the course of the game. THE GREAT WALL is played by 4 individuals, and as well as luck, it requires skill, concentration, alertness, prompt reaction, and good judgment. THE GREAT WALL game set now is available in 2 forms-cards and plastic pieces. For more information, please email w8881068@126.com.
