Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a puzzle built around objectives beyond matching pairs and clearing the board may find the core activity limited.
- Players who want substantial variation in puzzle mechanics may find the repeated pair-matching structure narrow.
- Players looking for games centered on activities other than tile matching may prefer another format.
Our take on MahJong
Rather than centering on a contest between players, this presents MahJong as a tile-clearing puzzle: match open pairs, uncover covered layers, and remove every pair from the board.
What is MahJong?
MahJong creates random tile layouts for a pair-matching puzzle.
Select two open matching tiles to remove them, exposing tiles in the layers underneath and creating new choices. The objective is to remove every pair and clear the board. The game includes 10 tile and table sets with hand-designed artwork. A 3D view, board rotation, and zoom let players inspect the arrangement from different angles. Music accompanies the puzzles. Random layouts provide variation between boards, while play centers on finding available pairs and revealing tiles that were previously covered.
