Our Expert Score

80/100

This is Mahjong Solitaire in its purest, most professional form. The absence of ads is the biggest selling point hereβ€”it creates a seamless, Zen-like flow that is often interrupted in other versions of the game. The tiles are crisp and easy to read even on smaller screens, and the variety of layouts ensures that you won't get bored.

The 'shuffle' and 'hint' systems are implemented fairly, helping you out of a jam without making the game too easy. It’s the kind of app that stays on your phone for years because it’s the perfect companion for a quiet moment. If you want a distraction-free, high-quality Mahjong experience, this is the version to get.

Mahjong solitaire is a solitaire matching game that uses a set of Mahjong tiles rather than cards. The computer game was originally created by Brodie Lockard in 1981 and named Mah-Jongg after the game that uses the same tiles for play. Lockard claims that it was based on a centuries-old Chinese game called "the Turtle". However, it was not until Activision released Shanghai in 1986 for the Macintosh and Apple IIgs that the game gathered momentum. A version of this game was also included in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows 3.x in 1990 and went by the name Taipei. It was subsequently included in the Best of Windows Entertainment Pack. Premium editions of the Windows Vista operating system and Windows 7 include a version of the game known as Mahjong Titans.

As any other successful game, millions of clones have been created on all possible platforms. So why should you give our version a try? We tried to recreate all the fun of original game with 60 different layouts in a tiny download package.

A tile that can be moved left or right without disturbing other tiles is said to be exposed. Exposed pairs of identical tiles (Flower and Seasons tiles in the same group being considered identical) are removed from the layout one at a time, gradually exposing the lower layers to play. The aim of the game is to clear the layout by pairing up all the tiles. The game is finished when either the layout is empty, or there are no exposed pairs remaining.
