Meet the Traditional Tiles

Chinese Mahjong has 7 groups of tiles. Each maintains the original design (Chinese characters and Unicode symbols) with English annotations. Take a look and familiarize yourself before playing.

What is Mahjong Solitaire?

Mahjong Solitaire is the tile-matching version of Mahjong. Unlike traditional four-player Mahjong, here the goal is to find matching pairs and remove all tiles from the board.

The main rule is simple: a tile can only be chosen when it's free, meaning no tile is on top of it and at least one side (left or right) is open. It seems easy at first, but every choice changes the path of the game.

Why do so many people like it?

Because it's a calm game, but not automatic. You need to observe patterns, remember positions and plan two or three moves ahead. Perfect for those who enjoy logic games, memory games and puzzles without pressure.
