| Description |
Shih Tao is the Windows software adaptation of an old Asian board game. It's all about placing stones on the board following the rules of Shih Tao. Each stones has two characteristics, a symbol and a color. In the beginning we place six stones for you and hide the remaining stones in the pouch. Now it is your turn to fill the board according to the rules of Shih Tao.
You can play alone against the high score. Or better challenge your family and friends by let them try to do better on your saved game. Play just for fun or go for the expert mode, it's totally up to you how hard Shih Tao is.
Shih Tao comes with three different board sizes plus three different difficulty levels of rules. Does not sound much? Go for it and we talk further. To make it not too hard Shih Tao comes with optional helpers, like showing possible moves, showing the next stones, showing the pouch, shuffling the pouch, and unlimited undo and redo.
Shih Tao comes with 15 background melodies and configurable sound. Select your favorite color set and the design of the stones. The Shih Tao windows and board scales automatically according to your screen resolution.
And if you should get tired playing, just watch the AutoPlay feature doing the job. |
