Mahjong

Mahjong is a puzzle game of matching tiles. Help to clear this confusing mess!! XD

There are many, many tiles with all kinds of pictures, but each picture always has an identical pair. The tiles are placed next and on top of each other to form a puzzle.

The rules to solve the puzzle are very simple, you have to pick two tiles, both of them not blocked from the left OR from the right by other tiles (so you can freely shift it to the left or to the right), and the tile must also not have anything on top of it, blocking it from above. So just select two identical tiles that satisfy this condition and they will be instantly removed from the board!

But since many tiles are blocked (can't be freely moved to the left or right), the question is what to remove first and what would be wiser to keep for later? There are always many forks and options in the strategy!

Ah, Mahjong. It wouldn't be a 90s games CD without one version. (My Mahjong solitaire of choice was from the Steve Moraff collection)

And surprisingly, in one of the circles I'm in, the OTHER Mahjong has come into a resurgence. With the Riichi system in use.

This is a delightful tile set that does help avoid the visual ambiguity of many other tilesets.

Thank you so much! Very glad you enjoyed this tileset, though I think it doesn't have as many different tiles as the classical Mahjong, it also doesn't have those weird tiles that you can still combine even if their pictures are not identical.

My biggest discovery with this Mahjong was the algorithm of having all these random tiles but they're not just randomly shuffled and there's ALWAYS at least one way to beat the game! Basically, you take a pair of identical tiles, put them down in random positions but so that neither of them is blocked. Then the next pair of tiles following the same rules, etc, until you build the entire "turtle". I'm still proud of coming up with this by myself, haha. My first version was purely random and usually impossible to win 😌

It was a nice game. Can we expect it available again sometime?

Well it works just fine for me? 😅

Maybe something happened with site permissions? Trying to go to any games urls just redirects me to the main page.
