New Mahjong

Barb was disappointed she had lost all of her games when her computer broke down.  So while she was away I installed a number of games that come with Linux on the computer she is now using.  I tried playing Mahjong on the Linux computer but I don't know how to play Mahjong.  It didn't quite look like the version of Mahjong Barb used to play. So I just used the hints feature.  I still lost.  When Barb came home from the tournament, I showed her the new Mahjong.  At first she didn't like it because the only choice you have is tiles with Chinese characters.  The first time she played it we played together and we won.  So Barb warmed up to it.  I think the Mahjong on the Linux computer is the true way to play Mahjong and her game on her old computer is some American adaptation.
