Through the years, people have created real sets of rules inspired by the show to bring the game to life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/skudpaisho.com\/site\/games\/skud-pai-sho\/\">Skud Pai Sho<\/a> is a\u00a0Pai Sho variant based heavily on the various existing community rules, intended to be a comprehensive set of rules that make the game fun, competitive, and strategic.<\/p>\n<p>If you need more Pai Sho in your life, and you do, check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/skudpaisho.com\/site\/more\/\">More Pai Sho<\/a>\u00a0page. And don&#8217;t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/skudpaisho.com\/site\/buying-pai-sho\/\">get your own Pai Sho set<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Credit Where Credit is Due<\/h3>\n<p>Skud Pai Sho exists because of and is inspired by the hard work gone before it. I am so thankful for the countless hours of hard work that must have been put into the existing sets of rules that are out there in places like <a href=\"http:\/\/paisho.pbworks.com\/w\/page\/11167077\/Variations\">The Pai Sho Project<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/lotusgambit.pbworks.com\/w\/page\/45592429\/Home\">Lotus Gambit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I remember when I first came across those rules giving Pai Sho a flower arranging theme. That really struck me as true to the idea of Pai Sho as we see it in Avatar. The idea of Harmony between the tiles was a simple game mechanic that drew me in right away.<\/p>\n<p>My goal is to standardize and simplify the existing rules so we have a comprehensive, fun Pai Sho variant\u00a0that&#8217;s easy to learn, accessible to all, yet has the potential for deep strategy.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0huge thanks goes to\u00a0Michael N. from Germany for the endless days of playtesting and feedback on rule changes for Skud Pai Sho. This game is as great as it is because of him!\u00a0He is a\u00a0Skud Pai Sho champion and regularly beats me at my own game.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender\">Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/a> is an inspiration to everything here.
