It features two modes: in one, the player takes on different opponents in one-on-one games, while in the other the player is walking around in an RPG world with party members and mahjong games as the "battles".
The original Mahjong Shikaku game was released for the Arcades and MSX2 and is a "strip mahjong" game.
This enhanced PC Engine version removes the nudity.
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.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mahjong Shikaku Retsuden: Mahjong Wars, 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.
