Why this game exists
This game is a tribute to my father, who introduced me to Mahjong in the ‘80s.
My son Leon helped shape it as the game’s smallest (and loudest) stakeholder.

Three generations. One love for games.

### 4/5 — I like this…

*2026-08-13*

I didn’t think I would though. But it’s challenging, without being too difficult, some games take two or three attempts. I personally don’t enjoy games that are too easy. Best bit is obviously no ads and no costs. Yay 😍.
Maybe there should be a shuffle option ?

### 5/5 — Relaxing & Fun

*2026-08-08*

Excellent game. Hard but it can be done. Relaxing and NO ADS!!  Such a plus….no distractions.

### 5/5 — Kurzweilig

*2026-08-02*

Tolle Ablenkung bei Zugreisen

### 3/5 — Visually difficult

*2026-07-16*

I found this Mahjong difficult to see, it was hard to differentiate the layers and didn’t like that it only played in landscape.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review!
Yes, the tiles are small on iPhone. I Usually play with reading glasses, or use the zoom. But I will tell my son Leon to draw a set of big tiles with clear layers, so neither the zoom or the glasses are required if you use this tileset.
We will keep you posted!
All the best!
Lucas

### 4/5 — It’s ok

*2026-07-04*

Tiles are very small……….you’ll need good reading glasses.  Also:  levels are difficult to judge.  Also, but not as important:  each time you win, there are no increasing levels of difficulty and no points  accrue.  On a positive note, it’s extremely rigorous on your mental ability………closest comparison is Sudoku, which is tedious.  This game tests various mental skills, such as memory, focus, concentration, so you’ll need a quiet space to yourself, since it’s akin to intense meditation.

### 5/5 — Einfach schön

*2026-06-30*

Sehr angenehm, unaufgeregt, einfach schön zu spielen

### 5/5 — Great Mahjong game

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-06-07*

Gutes kurzweiliges Spiel

### 5/5 — A game that fills any void

*2026-06-01*

I have several games I love and play daily and/or sporadically. I keep totally different games for different reasons. Mostly strategedy and word games. They fill any time that I have sitting, waiting and moments of just needed concentration. mahjong is one of my keepers. My mind needs to always be active

### 5/5 — Best mahjong on App Store

*2026-05-25*

This mahjong solitaire is my favorite on the App Store , it is simple just what I was looking for with no extra objectives or flashy game modes. No coins tokens in game currency nonsense. And the cherry on top is the app developer is very active providing updates that actually improve the game. I think they did an excellent job with this one!
