The lowest price: 21.21$
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Pros:
There are many game choices. If you want to play every version of Majong, you might like it.
Cons:
The layout is not intuitive. You need to take the time to learn the software to enjoy it.
Review:

The tiles were very difficult to view. There is a red band around them, indicative of a shadow, and depth. But I still have a very hard time determining if a tile is free, or bound by other tiles.

Each game opens a new window. And when you are new to the software, it can be very confusing.

There are button options on the toolbar, but none of them are particularly useful. You need to go to the menu to restart the game, or shuffle the tiles.

From the play area, the selecting a game option presents you with a game number, not a description.

A person who likes to save games, and already knows the rules of Majong well might like this software.

Conclusion:

If you need instructions, don't buy it unless you want to read the entire help file.
