Shih Dao

Shih Dao is a single player, mouse controlled, shareware, solitaire board game played with tiles. It also goes by the name of Ishido .

The objective is to place all of the tiles onto the board and obtain the highest possible score by following specific rules of play. Tiles can only be placed next to another tile of the same colour or of the same pattern. The player positions them by dragging & dropping with the mouse. As the game area becomes more crowded the player will often have to place a new tile next to two, three or four other times all of which must match in one way or another. This makes the game very strategic in nature as the score for a two-way, three way and a four way match is significant.

The game has sound, a high score table and an undo feature, it will also optionally show available moves.
