			<description><![CDATA[I love all the Pai Sho variants we have but when I play a competitive game online I stress myself out a lot so I tend to enjoy single player games, but as of right now we only have Solitaire Pai Sho, so I wanted to make a variation of that by throwing in a gimmick that eventually led into it's own variation of a variation.<br />
<br />
The idea is using the Lion Turtle/Avatar tile (that I designed myself so it's a bit of a self-insert, haha) as the first piece and center piece that all other tiles have to connect to in some way. In a way, you play as the Avatar trying to bring balance to the four nations.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/print/Hybi6gvWt7?" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Click here for the rules</a> since I have trouble trying to summarize them.<br />
<br />
The lore behind the idea is that some long forgotten Avatar was trying to explain his role to someone, maybe a child, but this someone didn't quite understand, so they used a Pai Sho board and some pieces to explain how and why bringing balance to the world is so difficult.<br />
<br />
If anyone wants I'll use my board to play a game and take pictures of/record the session to put up as an example. Feel free to try it out, too, it can be kinda tricky! <img src="https://forum.skudpaisho.com/images/smilies/smile.png" alt="Smile" title="Smile" class="smilie smilie_1" />]]></description>
