Community Insight:
We started playing this game years ago after our dad told us about it. He lived in Oklahoma and Im in Indiana. We would challenge one another to see who could beat the game first. It brings back great memories of our dad. We just wish it was available for Kindle as well.
Im 70 and love doing this. We have had for about 20 years and out of all the games we have this is our favorite. Im so glad to see it is still out there.
Mi was just wondering when will the game update past level 50.
This is an oldie but goodie. We first played this game over 10 years ago off a floppy disk. There were years in between as computers improved that we wasnt able to play it and we missed it! Every now and again Id pull that old floppy out and try it again, only to be disappointed. We were SO EXCITED when we found it again updated in the App Store! Thank you! Basically its a mahjong game (matching tiles) but with lots of added twists and turns. Tiles may move as you remove one next to it, or be blocked by walls etc. All games are doable although you may need to play a level a few times to learn to moves, blocks etc. Best news there is no need to spend money on this game! All in all a great work out for your brain! Enjoy.
Been years since we first played but it is as fun as ever, its worth the $1.99 Dow load.
We have played this game almost 20 years! Its very challenging… Keeps you thinking.
This is way more challenging than Mahjong. We have this for our desktop on CD was happy when we saw it for iPad. We just wish this had as many levels as the CD version. Please ad more levels we would gladly buy them, please.
Ive played this 2000. Our grand kids have one for about 18 years. We get a new computer first game installed is Ra.
We love this game, Ive been playing it for a lot of years back when it was on a CD for our desktop. So happy when we found it for our iPad. Im 62 now and still enjoy playing it, it keeps our mind active like sudoku. The curse of ra is way more challenging but its one of those old games that is still so much fun to play! We have one request PLEASE make it where you can turn off the timer, we know it has the solitaire part and we play that all the time too but we would like sometimes to play the other without being timed. But thanks for a great game.
This is one of our favorite games. Ive been playing it for years, starting on our laptop. We were so happy when we found it for our iPad and enjoy it even more on the tablet. Waiting for the other 3 Ra games to be iPad apps.
Im 69 years old and we have spent many enjoyable hours playing this game for years. Its very relaxing, plus we figure as long as we can still beat the easy games, Ill know our brain is still working.
Ive had this game for years and have yet to tire of it! Its challenging and relaxing at the same time! We play it every chance we get.
We have been playing this game since 2010 on our pc now we have it on our iPad best game ever. The challenge is the best we would love this game everywhere.
This is and has been for years our favorite game. It challenges our mind and our eye hand coordination. No two boards are the same. Even when you finish a level there is always another one. It never gets boring. We have to be careful about when we start playing because we just cant stop until our eyes wont focus and our hand is sore ! Thanks for making a great game,.
We love this game been playing for years wish they would have more.
Seriously, the levels are so tricky, the walls will drive you crazy but the trick is remembering the sequence of which tiles to pair up, there is only one correct way. Try it, we guarantee you will love it.
This is the only game we have ever played over and over again. Totally addictive and fun. We want more than 50 levels! Great for memory and speed. We play to the end, reload and start over. Never gets boring.
Love this game. Very challenging.
Enjoy very much at the end says to be continued so what does it mean.
We have been playing this game since 2004. Im so happy its now an app we can play without our CD. Id give this a 5 star, but at times the game just goes back to Home Screen on our iPad. Leaving us to start over. Ive sent the developers a message but they dont answer. We also wish this wasnt timed. There are some levels that need a lot of concentration and starting over is just wrong. Otherwise, we wish theyd go back to the original version. It was more fun. Great game to play if you like MahJongg to begin with.
Totally addictive! 50 levels just isn't enough..Please we want more.
We love this game! We used to have the PC version, until it wasn't compatible with newer OS's. That one had over 100 levels. We've been looking for an iPad version for awhile. Glad we finally found it.
We were hoping this was Curse of Rah anonymous but we guess this will do. Hi everyone we're Trisha and we are a long time player of Curse of Rah. This game has made through all our friends and family to the point where we called each other for help for 10 years, yes, 10 years. We would not believe it ourselves, but even after 10 years we still like playing the game once in a while just for the fun of it. Come to think 10 years ago we had to pay 13 bucks for it just to download it to the computer. Ridiculous right? Please, please bring all other levels to the iPad server. We were so happy to finally have found this one for our pad, it would be great to have all the levels, to get the older kids hooked on it too.
We have loved this game since it first came out for the PC. We were thrilled when we could get it for our iPad. This game is challenging enough to be addicting, and it helps with memory as well. This and 1010 will keep us from getting bored this winter. Love, Love this game.
Please bring the other versions to iPad.
This game will keep your mind busy and occupied for hours. We enjoy it and ready for more levels.
Played this game and all of its cousins years ago on our PC. When will they bring the rest of the family to iPad? Love, love, love this game. Please bring the rest of the Ra family to ipad.
TERRIBLE game. No rhyme or reason to it as in other mahjong games. Waste of money.
Unique mahjong game! We've been playing Usedstar's Curse of Rah games for years. They r our favorites & always seem new w/fresh challenges. Highly recommend.
Love this game. We use to play it on a computer. And now it on iPad yah.
We were happy to find this version for the iPad. We were addicted to it on our PC. We love it! Highly recommended and challenging.
Used to play this for hours on the computer, we were very happy to find it here! Only getting started but so far so good! Make more levels.
Love this game wish there was more.
Wish there were more levels. This is the only game of its kind in the App Store. We used to play this years ago on the computer. Glad they have a version for iPad. Highly recommend.
Our absolute favorite game series of all time! Have been playing this for years. Please bring the others to iPads.
Really cool twist on mahjong games.
We use to play this on the computer many years ago. We were hoping that some day "The Curse of Ra" would come out as an app. At last it did and once again we are loving every puzzle. We do hope that they will in time add more puzzles to the app. For us this is one of our favorite app that we have on the iPad.
Love this game! Very challenging! We used to play this on our computer. Was so happy to find it in the App Store.
Very challenging. Each level has different kinds of difficulty.
We played this game over 10 years ago and was pleasantly surprised to find it in the App Store. We loved it then and love it even more now since we are able to progress further in the "quest". Love that it makes you use your brain too.
Love this game. Just challenging enough.
We've been looking and looking for Ra and we finally found it! We love playing it.
Years ago we loved played Ra on our computer. The iPad app has been just as good, maybe better.
Would have given this game five stars, as it IS a fun game to play, but it needs larger tiles or a zoom ability. The tiles are too small, even on an iPad. Please consider fixing this issue.
Played this game years ago on our laptop. So happy to have it on our iPad now.
This game is so addicting! We played it along time ago on a pc. It was awesome then and still awesome today.
We love this game and was very excited when we came across it for our iPad.
We love this game. We were so glad when we found it as an app. This is more fun then mahjong, more challenging. Thank you.
Love it on our pc, love it on our iPad.
This is a very fun game can pass hours and not even notice it.
