Viwawa is a website built and conceived in Singapore, by a group of developer for online casual gaming.
One of the most popular game under Viwawa is Wahjong, which mean Mahjong, the favourite socializing-gambling game for many Singaporean.
Mahjong itself has simple rules but can be a complicated game which exercise your observation, judgement and decision-making, sometimes it even trigger your emotion stability when you lost lots of money. Its a good brain warm-up exercise but it require 3 other more players to play with you and you need a place to setup the Mahjong table.
The good
Wahjong is making Mahjong playing incredibly convenient, you no long have to setup chairs and table, wash and arrange your tiles physically, its all programmed to be done in the game itself. Whats even better is that you are playing with other real players, who you can interact with and not just computer default player who is programmed to play along with you. Whats even best is that you can play casually at anytime of the day and quit whenever you want too, whereby quiting in the real physical Mahjong game will get you whacked by the other players.
There are very few online Mahjong game but Wahjong appeal more than the rest because of its cartoonic illustration and use of colours. Viwawa also allow users to custom their wawa (player's character) making it even more personal for them.

The bad
The 2 worst scenario that can happen in this game is when someone quit the game or walk away from their game, even though the game can still continue but its makes winning even harder with randomly discard tile for every round and having to wait for the player to timeout.
The other scenario is when the game lag and you miss a turn, that rarely happen but when the connection is overloaded the game play will be affected by other players.
Even though its advantage is being causal and convenient, some player still prefer the physical game because of the strategy involved to tackle other players, money and physical touch as luck.
The last bad about this game is that it only speaks in Chinese or Cantonese, player who cant understand Chinese and Cantonese will have problem playing and understanding the game.
The conclusion
Now that you know of Wahjong, you can Mahjong in the middle of the night without having your neighbour knocking on your door to complain about the noise :)
Try this game yourself!!
