Mahjong Match
About this game
Mahjong Match is the classic Shanghai solitaire rebuilt for the phone. One hundred forty four ivory tiles stack into eight handcrafted layouts, from a flat first board to a full pyramid. Tap two identical tiles that are free — nothing rests on top of them and at least one side is open — and the pair flies to the center and bursts. Every level brings a tighter stack and a one hundred eighty second clock, with a time bonus for fast clears. Chains inside fifteen seconds multiply the score, three hints and two shuffles per run keep a locked board alive, and a dead board with no shuffles left ends the run.
How to play
Tap two matching tiles that have no tile on top and at least one open side to clear the pair before the clock runs out.
Tips & Tricks
- Peel from the edges — clearing side tiles frees the ones trapped behind them.
- Save shuffles for a real dead board, not for a slow start.
- Chain pairs within fifteen seconds and the multiplier climbs every time.
- Tall stacks hide the pairs you need — open the top layers first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a tile is free in Mahjong Match?
A tile is free when no tile rests on any part of it and at least one of its left or right sides is open. Blocked tiles appear dimmed while free tiles keep their full brightness and soft shadow.
What happens when no pairs are left in Mahjong Match?
The game warns you about the dead board and pulses the shuffle button. A shuffle rearranges every remaining tile and always leaves at least one pair removable. With no shuffles left the run ends with the score banked from cleared levels.
