You were saying? Picture of a set of Majiang cards

And the die uses the old form of 5: 伍

Only works from 1-3. 4 has 5 strokes (6 lines), for example.

Ah. I wasn't aware of this. I'll pay attention to which program was used in the future. :D

I'm not sure what "attitude" you're projecting onto me.

I owned Valley of the Pharaohs. I tried to get people to give it a shot. Nobody took me up on it.

Where's the "attitude"?

Why is it so hard for people to read the blurb on the right?:

From way back in the days, Valley of the Pharaohs. While not my first game that attempted to be historically accurate (that honour falls to Chivalry & Sorcery) it was the first such game I found that not only tried to be historically accurate but also supplied loads of supporting material for it. (This was more important pre-Internet than it is now because it was both time-consuming and hard to find good, solid historical information that was usable in play.)

But I could never interest anybody in playing it.

Buy. I wouldn't even know how to begin cutting stones.

I like those fine (and have a set), but I kinda view them as "cheating" when you have numbers repeating to get a lower number of sides. I'm always impressed by how clever people can be in designing these things. 😉

I bought them off of Taobao (like … pretty much everything I've bought in the past decade or so 🙃). You can probably find them on AliExpress as well, I would guess.
