Ishido - The Way of the Stones

This was a puzzle game released in early 90s by Accolade, a worldwide known game developer back then. The game is a puzzle consisting of 72 stones and a board game consisting of 96 squares. The stones had colors and symbols, six of each, so there were 36 possible pairs. But because each stone came in pairs, there were a total of 72 possible stones. The target of the player was to place all the 72 stones on the 96 squares board, but although it sounds easy, the stones had to actually be placed adjacent to others that they match by color or symbol.

Ishido- The Way of Stones is a solitaire board game played with tiles (like Shanghai). The objective is to place all of the tiles onto the board and obtain the highest possible score by following specific rules of play. It is a solitaire game. There are ways to play that can dramatically increase the score, which makes the game very strategic in nature. Additionally, when desired, the player can get an oracle reading by asking a question...the question is answered when the player makes a very elegant play (4 way match).
