Indochine - 2000
is the first game of the many invented and marketed by Joli Quentin Kansil
that is solely for one player. The game is based on the popular solitaire
card game, Klondike, but it incorporates many fresh innovations. Deluxe wooden tiles instead of cards are used, and there are 81 of them: 6 suites of 13 tiles each, plus 3 jokers. The two additional suits are Wheels and Anchors and both are green. There is a lot more action and decision-making in the play of Indochine - 2000 than in other solitaire games. Moreover, there is a scoring table so that the player can attempt to reach the maximum points in one game, which is 2000.
An Indochine 2000 game in progress
All Indochine - 2000 games have been manufactured in Thailand by Thai Wooden Games, a company that makes many games and puzzles, including Mah Jongg sets distributed world-wide. The rules are in color, as is the strategy section written by Tom Braunlich, games expert and author.
Indochine - 2000 is easy to play! If you play standard Solitaire, you will have no difficulty. This game is destined to be a classic, like many of the other popular games of Joli Quentin Kansil -- notably Bridgette, Zig-Zag, Marrakesh, Krakatoa, Itinerary, Quinx, and Knock-on-Word.
The game's tiles are of extremely high quality, made in Thailand from rubber tree wood and hand-painted there. The handsome box is made from lush raintree wood and is felt-lined. Each tile is the size of a Mah Jongg tile and has the same half-inch thickness! The box, and tiles inside, are so beautiful that the set is a fabulous addition to any coffee table - and a great conversation piece! Each INDOCHINE - 2000 game is really solid, with a weight of over two pounds. Also included in each set are rules, strategy and scorecard in color, plus score sheets.
