Description

A unique 3D puzzle game where you must clear the screen of matching hexagon-shaped tiles. The tiles can only be cleared if the tile has at least 3 sides free, and nothing on top of it. You can also create your own pieces and put them together in you own puzzle style (which could be any shape that is possible)

The Nahan 3D Puzzle is a soothing stress buster.

The Good
I am not much of a game-player. I was first introduced to this game when I lived on the West Coast (I used to work for S.O.M.C. Software in San Diego, CA). I tend to take interest in things that spark a quiet interest. Something that helps me to slow down confusion, and organize my perspective. What I like about this game is that it is a quiet strategy game. It is a type of therapy for boosting concentration. I also liked the different mood settings screens and the music choices in particular. I used to take it to work with me to use on lunch break; until the job computer was upgraded to Windows XP (which uses NT components). It's just a wonderful game. I really wish it could work again.

The Bad
What I don't like is that the game comes only as an interactive. It is not something that you can install and go back to (e.g., Solitaire, Chess, Mine-sweep....) Also, when I upgraded my computer, about a month ago, to Windows XP, I could no longer use the game. Why? Have you ever thought of upgrading this game to work on Windows XP or NT?

The Bottom Line
I would describe this game as soothing and nonviolent. It helps one to concentrate and think. And although you are still using your mind, it can be identified more as undoing a problem rather than struggling with one. Breaking it down and conquering it, so to speak. When I worked for the S.O.M.C. Software company, I always recommended this game to adults and young children (not tots). I also described it as a "break from confusion." When I came back to the East Coast, I introduced it to my grandchildren (ages 3 & 4 at the time). They caught on quickly, and loved it! Not to mention, it kept them quiet because they were really, really concentrating and interested. I would still strongly recommend this game if it worked on Windows XP/NT.

Trivia

The rules are similar to a game of Mahjong, just with different shaped tiles.
