Illegal Mahjong is basically a traditional Mahjong game where you will have to play matches of this game and win to advance in the story, these games really follow the classic rules of 4 players, making trios, ladders, quartets, etc, but also has a system of "cheats" where using MP a la Rpg you can get a better robbery, see your opponents chips, reduce the amount of points you lose and other passive cheats like starting with better hands of pairs or threes, the game also has a "progression" of difficulty that consist in reducing the points you start with as well as your opponents also cheat in a certain amount of occasions depending on the level.
The sound section is not far behind because although it has simple background music, the game has quite professional voice acting in Japanese, for all dialogues and phrases of the protagonist which gives a pretty good plus.
