Although each tile layout requires a unique approach, the general strategy is to keep removing matching tiles in such a way that each removal would open up more possibilities for future tile matching. Many wasted hours in Graduate School were dedicated to multi-player timed challenges. I was more disappointed in Mahjong because that's normally a game I adore. It seems to follow Vegas rules, offering you insurance, etc. I'm not a huge gambler so I can't really say much about the gameplay relative to real life. In Blackjack 21, most of the gameplay is about the animation and sound effects. Although it was a bit confusing to pick up (and a little anti-intuitive, since in our family games, we double tap the table to hit and swipe our hands to stay), I soon was betting, hitting, standing and so forth. Swipe down to hit, swipe across to stay, double-tap to double-down, and so on. To play Blackjack 21, you need to learn an odd swipe language. In the end, I was unable to enjoy playing the game.

The presentation made selecting individual tiles tricky and identifying them harder - especially for one as myopic as myself.
