## What is Mah?

Solitaire mahjong, but for two.

You both get the same board, at the same second. The table is drawn at random
just before the off, and whoever reads the free tiles fastest takes the round.
No turns to wait for: you play at the same time.

FIFTEEN TABLES, FROM 72 TO 144 TILES
Every layout has its own character — the short Arena for tight duels, the Turtle
and its 144 tiles, the Pagoda drawn for a phone held upright. All of them are
guaranteed solvable: boards are never shuffled at random, they are built
backwards from a solution.

HEAD TO HEAD, OR ALONE
Ranked duels have their Elo, their ranks and their six-week seasons. Solo has no
clock and no Elo, but XP, jade and quests advance just the same, and your best
times enter each table's ladder.

OFFLINE
A solo game runs without a network, and its time joins the leaderboard as soon
as you are back online.

WHAT YOU KEEP
Levels, three quests a day, chests that are earned, weekly leagues, a daily
puzzle shared by everyone, and a cosmetics shop paid for in jade earned at the
table.

WITH FRIENDS
Add each other, challenge each other, watch a friend's game live, or open a
private room with a code.

WHAT IS NOT HERE
No advertising. No in-app purchases: nothing is bought with money, and chests
are not for sale. No trackers, no analytics. The game loads no outside
resource.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 3.12 — 2026-09-30

What’s new in 3.12

• Find your friends in your contacts: a button on the Friends page shows who already plays. Only email addresses are read, turned into fingerprints on your phone, and nothing is kept.
• Game Center: your best Elo and duel wins now appear on Game Center leaderboards.
• Found a bug, have an idea? Report it from your profile and follow the answer: you are notified as soon as it is fixed or your idea is accepted.
• Change your name for 1,000 jade, once a month.
• The button to start a game stays on screen while you pick your table.
• Tile depth fixed: a tile no longer looks stacked on its neighbour when both are on the same level.
• Small display fixes on phones.

### 3.11 — 2026-09-14

The League screen now shows all five divisions, from Wood to Celestial,
instead of yours alone: you can see at a glance where you stand and what is
still above you.

The streak medal no longer appears on your public profile by default. Like
every other distinction, you decide whether to put it in your showcase — or
leave it out.

### 3.10 — 2026-09-13

No release notes.
