  "guide": {
    "genre": "mahjong",
    "kind": "game",
    "noun": "tile matching game",
    "verb": "Play",
    "tagline": "Match tiles, raise Rome, outsmart the man who betrayed it",
    "intro": "You clear mahjong tile layouts to earn resources, then watch a crumbling Roman settlement grow street by street into a city worthy of legends — all while a story of betrayal and rivalry unfolds around you. If you like puzzles with a purpose and a world that visibly changes as you progress, this is built for you.",
    "steps": [
      "Choose a tile layout and find matching pairs to clear the board",
      "Collect the resources your cleared tiles unlock",
      "Spend those resources to construct and upgrade buildings in your settlement",
      "Use boosters like Shuffle or Firepot when a board has you stuck",
      "Follow the storyline between levels to see what Cassius does next"
    ],
    "controls": "Tap or click two identical free tiles to remove them from the board — a tile is free when at least one of its short sides is open and nothing is stacked on top of it. Boosters are activated from the in-level toolbar whenever you need them.",
    "scoring": "Progress is measured in resources earned and buildings unlocked rather than a points tally — clearing boards efficiently keeps your city growing and feeds your achievement collection.",
    "ending": "A level ends when you clear all available pairs from the board, rewarding you with resources, or when no valid moves remain and you choose to use a booster or replay.",
    "tips": [
      "Clear tiles from the middle of the stack first — freeing buried tiles opens far more matching options than picking off the easy edges early",
      "Save the Firepot booster for boards where a cluster of tiles is blocking several pairs at once, not just one stubborn match",
      "Check your resource needs before starting a level so you know which tile types to prioritize clearing in that run",
      "The game saves your progress offline, so long commutes or flights are good stretches to push through several levels without worrying about connection"
    ],
    "features": [
      "Dual-loop design — every board you solve directly funds a building you can see rise in your city",
      "Thousands of layouts — mahjong levels scale in complexity so early boards teach, later boards genuinely challenge",
      "Story with stakes — a full narrative of Roman politics and a scheming villain named Cassius threads through every chapter",
      "Booster toolkit — Shuffle, Firepot and additional power-ups give you concrete options when a board locks up",
      "Offline play — the full experience works without a connection, no caveats",
      "Twelve languages — English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish and Ukrainian all fully supported"
