If you are planning to play mahjong then you must learn the suit tiles. The suit tiles in mahjong are important in the game because there are 108 tiles which mean that most of the time, you will be handling them. This article will explain the basic information one needs to know regarding suit tiles before one can play mahjong.

Just like in a card game, there are four suits while on the other hand in a mahjong game, there are three suit namely lines, dots and characters. Some people call the lines as “bamboo” or “bom” and dots as “circles” or “balls” for easier recognition. People who do not know how to speak Chinese uses these other names rather than the original names because it is easier for them especially when they are memorizing the pattern of the tiles.

One should know that each suit have numeric representation of one to nine tiles and in a mahjong set, there are four tiles which represents each number. The four players that belong in a game should know that the number of objects in a tile represent the numeric equivalent of it just like in a deck of cards. The only thing that is not in line with this notion is the representation of a one line which is supposed to be a line is depicted by a bird.

Before starting a real game, the players must familiarize themselves first with the tiles because it will take those hours before they can finish the game if they count the number of dots and lines that are in every tile.

The only difference that a character suit has compared to the dots and lines are it contains Chinese characters. It still has four tiles for each Chinese character and to help guide you in reading these tiles, the American mahjong sets have a small number written at the top of the tiles.

Honor tiles have more worth than suit tiles because it is only twenty eight compared to the suit tiles which is one hundred and eight which makes it special if you are lucky to get one. Although it is worth less in value, there is an advantage of getting suit tiles such as it is to easy to make combinations.

Suit tiles are one part of the mahjong set which should be understood very well before a group of four begins playing the game. It will help them with the basic concept and soon enough they will be able to play the game correctly.

Wii games are now much more like real life and exciting thanks to the accuracy and speed of detecting motion from new Wii MotionPlus.  Gaming with the new device is an awesome adventure.

According to Nintendo, the Wii MotionPlus accessory for Nintendo’s Wii Remote controller gives players new levels of precision and performance when used with specially designed games.  The device is simple and easy to use.  It attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and contains an additional sensor that tracks players’ movements in finer detail and with greater accuracy than ever before.  The remote will respond to the smallest movement of the body or turn of the wrist.  The TV screen reflects any movement in real time, bringing a level of realism to game play never imagined.

The device is complimentary to technology used in the basic Wii Remote.  It uses an advanced gyroscope technology that detects the rate of rotation through resonance and leads to quicker turns and a more precise level of game play. With the increased accuracy and enhanced play, gamers will become even more immersed in Wii game play.

The game that was launched with the new accessory is Wii Sports Resort, which is a sequel to Wii sports.  This game brings sports to the Wii like Frisbee, archery, swordplay, and power cruising.

Perhaps the best example of a Wii MotionPlus game is Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. The simulation is amazing.  The component is so responsive that many players may feel they are really on the green with a club in their hands.

Grand Slam Tennis by EA Sports also uses the MotionPlus.  The difference between this game and earlier Wii tennis games is impressive. No more is there a bit of lag time when swinging the racket by moving the Wii Remote.  With the new device, the racket moves as close to a real one as any system is going to be able to replicate.

There is a pass-through external extension connector that allows for connection of an expansion pack, like the Nunchuk, without removing the MotionPlus.  However, those fun plastic accessories that fit over the controller, like rackets and pistols, may have to be replaced.

Like other Wii accessories, Nintendo made this to hold up well to normal wear and tear. It tolerates falls and drops well, along with the occasional bangs and bashes.  The unit is also rated high for humidity and temperature resistance.

Since the release of the unit in 2009, many games using it have also been released.  Most are sports games mentioned above, like tennis and golf, but there are some action games like Red Steel 2, Gladiator A.D. and Zelda.  Many games come bundled with the unit.

The MotionPlus is a fun addition to the Wii.  It would make an excellent accessory for any gamer.  It is easy to learn and fun to use.  As one gamer said “Now I can stink at golf in my living room just like in real life!”
