Universal Eyes: thanks for your opinion ... this, like any other game can be played different ways ... MUSTANGO can be played as follow:
1. First tile is placed randomly somewhere on the board ...
2. there are 54 tiles left ...
3. each player gets 3 tiles and after they make a move their hands are replenished from the stock ... so, their hands will always have 3 tiles to choose from ...
4. I think it will add some planning and strategy ..
5. This is the option I would support ...and this is the only nice option since 54 divides nicely into 27 stones for each player .
***
yes, you are right, there will be plenty of scoring opportunities with each move, I hope this game would get many fans ....
Andy.
