What do the dragons on the board stand for? What is their purpose in the game?

The dragons are trying to stop you from getting to the ball. Landing on one will lose you a turn.

Not that I've seen, but they're all fairly random anyway with lots of insta-wins and insta-loses, so they wouldn't do you much good even if you saw them. For instance, playing attack penguins against another player, allowing you to steal one of their cards. Or arbitrarily declaring that you receive 8 points and that having 15 points is a new win condition. Or if several people lose in one turn, declaring that you all lost because of a player you pick as the "noob", so only that one person loses and everyone else is back in. Or playing a dragon against another player, which causes them to lose if they can't get rid of it before the end of their turn. Or forcing everyone to scream in fear about zombies before they draw a card. Or declaring that anyone who says, "I", "me", or "my" loses instantly. The Chaos Pack that comes with it had some funny twists, such as allowing anyone who gained points (points are entirely arbitrary) to point at another player and make them lose instantly, so long as that other player wasn't singing. One low point was that some of the cards were repeated, except that the lose condition was changed. In a game I played yesterday, three of us thought we had an identical card telling us to have each player use their fingers to display a number from 1-5, but we discovered that each of us had a different lose condition written on the card (e.g. anyone picking odd loses, anyone picking even loses, if the total is prime everyone else loses). It means that people who have played it before have no real advantage, but it's still a bit uncreative to have something like that repeated several times (there are similar cards for rock, paper, scissors and other such things, where anyone picking X instantly loses).

Actually, I was able to translate it long time ago, except for few parts. basically each sign is a character, and you can easily start assigning letters by translating the Pokemon name MEW. In any case, there others who has already translated it. Here is a site where you can see what the card text are: http://playhere.com/pokemon/ancientmew.htm

for each unique symbol card you get a victory point. the unique symbols are the larger symbols on the bottom of each card. if i remember correctly, there are 8 unique symbols (drum, wheel, etc etc), and there are 2 of each in the deck. if you're lucky enough to get 7-8 unique ones throughout the game, you'll probably win.

Fundamentally, all the monsters are they same. They have different names so you can tell them apart. But throughout the game monsters can acquire various abilities which make every game different.

They are from the Yugioh Zexal Era. They include xyz monsters. So, no, they don't include cards from the original set.

In the basic game they are more of just "tokens" so you can see who is in Tokyo and who is out. No special features...they are all the same. The special features come from the cards you buy-- extra dice, extra points, on-going damage attacks, etc.... Basically: Everyone starts out the same, and then you build your own abilities based on the cards available (maybe someone else buys it before you can!) and the "money/energy" you have aquired.In the expansion, though (I don't have it, but have looked into it because the base game is AMAZING and I want more!), it looks as though the monsters will start with different abilities.

There are symbols and train cars that are different on the cards but I think the playing board with trains on it would be frustrating. We would not recommend it...sorry because it is such a great game we are playing it right now.

We were not able to locate any instructions. As stated in the previous reply you need to pull out the Chinese version of cards. We thought about the game with the tiles and made it work for the cards. You still will hold the 13 cards in your hand and we still build a wall with the other.

I only played the original game once loved it but wanted the bigger board. In the Jumbo version the chips I think are bigger as the board is huge the colors are Blue, Red and Green. Hope that helps.

He could try soloing through the entire deck, (or pick a number of cards), and seeing how many moves it takes to complete them all.It's more fun/puzzling against 3 other players as you try to figure out where they're going, and what they might do with the tiles, and how use that to your advantage.

It is a one piece 14" X 14", hard plastic, raised, hollow-back game board with 1-inch sides. The tiles are sturdy 3/4-inch, hollow-back, plastic squares. The game board surface is a grid with small plastic pegs rising out of all four corners of every grid square. These pegs hold the tiles in place so that they don't slide around on the board. However, the tiles are not truly "locked", snapped or fixed tightly in place; they will fall off if the board is tipped or turned over. The corner pegs just keep the tiles lined up so they don't free slide across the board when the board gets bumped as they can in a traditional flat board version.

I only learned the American game based on the National Mah Jongg League Card. The following is from my teacher...The western or American game requires152 pieces: 28 Honors made up of 12 - 4 each dragons(white, green and red) and 16 winds (4 of each). 108 suits bams (36), craks(36) and dots(36), 4 of each numbered 1 -9, 8 each flower (or seasons) and finally 8 jokers. I found that this set of kards has a few extra Honors, seasons and jokers. I just took them out of the box I play with. Hope that helped!

It is an actual card. If you can get an official translation you could use it(not in tournaments), but it isn't all that good. Its more of a collectors item.
