How to Play Mahjong

Mahjong is thankfully not as difficult to play as it is to pronounce! A game of Mahjong typically has face-up tiles arranged in various patterns. The goal of the game is to clear the board by matching identical tiles that are free.

A free tile is not covered by other tiles and has at least one side unblocked. To play Mahjong, select a pair of tiles with the same symbol to remove it from the board. Gradually clear the board, and make sure you think twice before making a match - sometimes the most obvious match isn't the best choice. If you ever mess up, you can always use an undo and lose out on several points.
