There's rivalry between Professor Prestwick, the nice white haired old guy, and nasty Professor Murdoch.
In the Windows version of the game this is shown in two comic-strip style screens which end in a bet being made and the three adventurers setting off to Egypt.
This part of the game is a fifteen level set of Mahjongg challenges which culminate in two more comic-strip scenes that set the scene for a sequel.

About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Mahjongg Mysteries: Ancient Egypt for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Mahjongg Mysteries: Ancient Egypt to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2010.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mahjongg Mysteries: Ancient Egypt, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo DS 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.
