## Description

_Shangri La 2 Deluxe_ is a word construction game, where a pile of hexagonal
tiles have to be arranged as words at the bottom of the screen. Each tile has
a letter, and like in mahjong it can only be moved when one of its 6 sides is
free. The objective is to clear all sides of a special star tile, and collect
it. The star is usually buried beneath all the other tiles.

Longer words give more points, and the tiles have a number of little dots
besides the letter indicating their value. Some stages have tiles of multiple
colors, an the game gives bonus points for making words with tiles of the same
color. A long bonus word appears at the top of the screen that gives extra
points when spelled.

Some levels have a time limit, where the player must collect several stars
before the timer runs out. On these stages, bonus words give extra time.

Like the stars, power-up tiles that can only be collected after clearing all
surrounding tiles. They are stored in three slots at the right side, and can
be used at any time. One power-up adds vowels to the board. The dictionary
tile suggests a long word to be spelled with the available letters. The
shuffle tile changes the position of all the tiles. The joker “*” tile can be
used in place of any letter in a word.
