Mahjong Haouden: Kaiser's Quest ("Mahjong Overlord: Kaiser's Quest") is a mahjong game released exclusively for the PC Engine.
The game features a handful of RPG heroes as they set out to remove the various monsters and villains that have taken over their kingdom.
To defeat these monsters, the player must beat them in mahjong games.
The player has three characters they can choose between initially, and more become available later.
The mahjong side of the game offers a standard one-vs-one mode.
The player has to win a few games to obtain 100% of the points available, and more points can be earned depending on how the player won.
About PC Engine
Known as the TurboGrafx-16 outside Japan, the PC Engine (1987) punched well above its small form factor and was hugely successful in Japan despite a limited Western release. Because the Western TurboGrafx-16 library is comparatively small and undersold relative to the platform's technical merits, complete-in-box North American copies are notably scarcer — and pricier — than their Japanese PC Engine counterparts.
Gamevaro tracks Mahjong Haouden: Kaiser's Quest for PC Engine with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Mahjong Haouden: Kaiser's Quest to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PCE release dates back to 1992.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mahjong Haouden: Kaiser's Quest, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PC Engine titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
