Two-Player, Windstorm (match tiles according to the prevailing
wind), Arcade (against time), Dynasty (compete against four
others in time mode), Power Dragon's Eye (either try to fill the
layout or remove), Pandamonium (several plays on the same
board). 54 tilesets, 143 layouts, 10 music tracks. You can use
custom tilesets and there is an Layout Editor.
