FAYETTE, Alabama—December 17, 2009—Russell Wilson ( www.rwDiversions.com ) has released Mahjong Wall, a new game app for the Apple^® iPhone and iPod touch based on his original Chinese tile game Mah Jongg Wall. Mahjong Wall for the iPhone and iPod touch was designed for shorter periods of cell phone play while still offering more mystery, strategy, and challenge than other mahjong tile games. Mahjong Wall for the iPhone and iPod touch is now available on the App Store ( itunes.com/apps/mahjongwall ).

Mahjong Wall gameplay includes building the Great Wall by removing matching free pairs of tiles, changing Season tiles and using Special Moves to free blocked tiles, and completing the Wall by deducing the Joker's mystery partner. Mahjong Wall includes popup help while learning the game, awesome animation, and great sound effects that play along with your iPod^® music.

    10 tile sets
    15 Oriental background paintings
    200 ancient proverbs from the Old Master for games won

    Unavailable tiles are dimmed
    Different highlight colors for Seasons (cyan), Dragons (orange), and other tiles (green)
