About this game
Tien Gow (a.k.a. "Tiengow", "Tin Kau" or "Heaven Nine") is a traditional Chinese pastime that can be dated back to the Sung Empire (960-1279 AD). Many rules (standard or variant) of this classic game, however, were lost in the tide of time. Few people nowadays know the rules inside-out.
The author of this app has played Tien Gow for over thirty years. After a substantial amount of research and literature review, he has compiled a set of standard rules for Tien Gow and published them in his weblog. Virtually all existing Tien Gow games running on Android or iOS systems are fully or partially based on this set of rules. And T9 is an implementation of this reference standard.
Features:
* support for single-player or local multi-player games over Bluetooth
* support for standard and variant rules
* the interface adopts an unconventional "game record layout" that allows players to easily review what have been played in previous rounds.
