The briefing

About this game

China Town is an arcade puzzle game that combines mahjong-inspired tile sets with falling-block gameplay. Players must line up three matching or sequential tiles vertically, horizontally, or in an L-shaped formation.

The objective is to assemble a mahjong set or hand within a limited time. After completing some levels, players can take part in a balloon-pumping bonus game, attempting to inflate an opponent's balloon until it bursts.
