Good but tough…
This is a quality game but very difficult at the same time. You have to play a LOT of games in order to attain goals and advance, and for the somewhat impatient player I can understand them not continuing and just giving up. The steps to advance are extremely difficult and the amount of coins required to “purchase” a new country is costly. On the timed games the touch often doesn’t register, so it delays you when you have to repeatedly touch a tile until it registers, and this aspect has cost me a win many times because I ultimately exceeded the time limit. Also, there could be better explanation as to what the various numbers and colors mean, and it’s not clear what it takes to “complete” a country. The tutorial is very basic and not helpful in this regard. Lastly, it’s not easy to match four tiles in a row; it almost seems as though they are “fluid”, meaning, they change position from underneath various other tiles, to foil you from getting a bonus for getting four of the same tiles in a row. I can’t prove this but it does seem that way. Lastly, the game “teases” you when you start a game and it shows you three tiles of the same theme, but the fourth is buried deep and you’ll never be able to claim all four because eventually you will have to match two of them early on.

Need help
I’ve enjoyed this game over the years but recently got a new phone and all of my other apps and games transferred over fine except this one. It saved my progress but I had paid the 100,000 coins to have unlimited undo, shuffle, swap, vision and now those are all gone. I can’t seem to find a way to contact you guys, even on the developer’s website. But this is crazy. And additionally, I’m tired of the game not counting a win if you reach it on the last play. Like if the achievement is to score 2mil in one game and I hit 2mil on my last move, it won’t unlock it. Been doing that forever.

Flawed but fun
Fun and challenging game. Only complaint is any board that requires a certain score before shuffling just doesn't work. I have completed the challenges multiple times, but it still won't register in the game.

Game not working properly
The game won’t allow me to buy coins.
Buy more coins
Why I can’t buy more coins so I can move on?
Token issue
Why can’t I access tokens for me to play the other games? Not too pleased with what is going on.

Updates?
Been a few years since there’s been any updates. Are the developers still around?
I just keep starting over but wish they would add. More vacations.
Hello guys? Where have you been?

I was just ripped off!
I just paid for some coins and selected the 750k for $19.99. The links are all mixed up in the game because the one I selected did not read to be what I tapped on. Once I made my purchase, there was only 300k coins added to my game, but I was still charged $21.39 to my card. I want the rest of my coins or a refund

No help
This is the second time I lost my coins and progress in this game. No way to contact anyone!
Animations
LOVE the new card animations at the end of the games! So cool!
Love travelling with you
I really love this game. It's so much fun travelling around the world, doing the challenges along the way. Some of the challenges are a bit hard, but then they wouldn't be challenges if they were easy, would they. Would be good to get a bit more play money for completing them, don't have enough to go to all the countries I want, and upgrade my hints too. Love that I can send postcards to people of places we've been together, and they're great for nostalgia too. Great that I can't lose any board because it just reshuffles until you get it out. Like the bonus matches too, feels really good to get one of those.
Update 2020: I haven’t played for a wee while now. I just remembered a couple of things about the game that frustrated me, and possibly was the catalyst for no longer playing. I was never able to get the New Zealand board, I don’t know why it has to come in a pack of 3-4 countries, and is too many coins for me to ever pay for it. I am a born and bred New Zealander, I want to play the board please. And the other thing was I didn’t seem to be able to save my progress so that I could pick up where I left off. I have an iPad 2, the same one I had eight years ago when I wrote this review, so it’s old and slow and I hardly use it. I wanted to be able to play on both my iPhone and my iPad, perhaps could use my GameCenter login to save my progress.

Impossible Challenges
I would be more interested in the game except the challenges are almost impossible to win. The tiles will tease you by showing 4 matching tiles but forcing the player to have to use other tiles so you can't get all 4 matching tiles in a row. I love the theme of vacationing around the world, but it's a bit difficult to travel when you can't win the challenges.

Awesome game
Love this game but more new boards please!!!!!
Best Mahjong Ever Created
I used to have this app on my iPad years ago and loved it. iPad broke (and was strictly an android phone user) so I didn’t have this game anymore. I searched every app for mahjong made on the android and nothing even came close to how awesome this is! Finally, at Christmas time, my entire family switched to iPhones. I finally have the app back and I am thrilled! Hours of entertainment!

Great game! Need more levels!
Love playing this game and it definitely gets harder as you go! But I was so disappointed when I finished this game and there were no more levels to play! Please! Make more levels! I started at the beginning and I am playing through it a second time!
Could be better
I like the challenge but it gets boring it takes so long to get to other levels....
