                                  IMPERIAL


The tiles used in Impérial are taken from the game of Mah-Jongg.

The object of Impérial is to remove all of the tiles from the board.

Tiles are  removed  from the board in  matching pairs.  For all of  the suits
except the Seasons and Flowers, tiles must match exactly to be removed. Since
there is only one of each kind of Season and Flower,  any two in the suit may
match.

Tiles can only be removed if they are free. A tile is free if it has no tiles
on top of it and if you can slide it out to the left or the right.

                                  STRATEGY


Every game has a solution.

Here are some hints to help you to find it :

- work from the outside in
- remove the end tiles as soon as you can,  especially those tiles that block
  more than one tile
- if  all four  tiles in a  matching set  are free,  you can remove  all four
  safely
