Mahjong gameplay
The online Mahjong game comes arranged in six tile layouts representing animals or Chinese characters. The Microsoft Mahjong comes arranged in animal portrayals for each tile, including Turtles, Cats, Crabs, Fortresses, Spiders, and Dragons, creating a total of 144 tiles.
You need to click and move the tiles so that the adjacent tile creates a pair. The entire tile board is roughly arranged in the spider shape and the matching should be such that it frees up the maximum tiles through pair creation without leaving too many unfree tiles on the board. If multiple identical tiles are free in odd numbers, look for another tile of the same identity to free them up altogether. In case you end up matching the wrong tile pairs, it can lead to unsolved puzzles.
Complete the following steps to play your online Mahjong game:
- Identify the available tile types on the board with their varying distinctions.
- Create a combination of these tile types in sequence or triplets to complete the sets. These combinations can be named differently based on the Mahjong game you have selected.
- The player that creates 4 combinations and a pair of identical tiles wins the game.
