How to Play Mahjong Tiles

Mahjong Tiles can be played with one or two players. In Mahjong Tiles, you try to find and remove matching tiles. You can only match tiles that are "free" and can be removed without moving other tiles. You can play with one or two players.

The layouts of Mahjong Tiles beside the classic layout as above, also can be customized in any shapes or layouts that you like, examples heart, apple, blocks, bridge, pyramid and etc.

There are many versions of Mahjong Tiles been developed for computer games.

To play Mahjong Tiles, find pairs of matching tiles, and remove the matched tiles from the layout. Only tiles with no other tiles on top of them, and at least one side exposed (left or right side not touching another tile) are considered free and can be removed. Both tiles must be free.
Keep matching pairs until there are no more pairs in the layout, trying to end with the fewest tiles remaining. The game ends if there are no more matches, and you can then stop and begin a new game, or reshuffle the remaining tiles and continue to try to solve the puzzle.

When playing with 2 players in head-to-head play, players take turns finding matches on a shared layout. Timer can be set, so that players must find a match within the time allocated, or lose his turn. The player who find most matches win the game.
