Mahjong Classic

How to Play Mahjong Classic

Tile groups

Mahjong is a challenging puzzle game featuring 144 tiles divided primarily into three suits. The primary suits are:

• Dots - feature circles
• Bamboo - feature lines
• Characters - feature Chinese characters

In this version of Mahjong Classic, you’ll also notice a mixture of honor and bonus tiles such as flower tiles and dragon tiles.

Many of the tiles look similar but have slight visual differences. You need to keep your mind sharp and focused on spotting the differences to find identical pieces that match.

Matching tiles

What makes mahjong tricky is the inability to move pieces with both of their sides blocked. That means you can only match mahjong tiles with at least one of their left or right sides free. It helps to start from the top of the pile and work your way down.

Using hints

If you get stuck, Mahjong Classic features infinite hints, and you can shuffle the board at any time. This is a refreshing change from mahjong games that add time limits and have no tips. You can really take your time to think about your moves in this puzzle game.
