### 1/5 — Description is WRONG

*2025-09-12, version 2.5*

Mahjong is a 4 player game that is similar to rummy.
Tile matching games that use the same tiles were invented for computers, the first of which was called Shanghai. They did not play this in Ancient China, despite not having computers. When will this misconception ever end?

### 1/5 — Review

*2022-02-02, version 2.0*

Tiles don’t even move
Rubbish

### 1/5 — A Lot of Guessing

*2021-05-01*

The directions are extremely poor.  Actually, they don’t exist.  Match identical tiles, not very good directions, a lot of information missing.
What is the purpose of “the number of matches”?
What is the purpose of the arrows at the top of the boards on each side?
Is a game winnable?
Can you shuffle remaining tiles at any point?

**Developer response:** Mahjong is a very simple game where you pair tiles together (please refer to in-game tutorial). 1000's of players have won 1000's of games (please refer to in -game leaderboard). As this is a game about matching identical tiles, the 'number of matches' give you real-time how many matches are possible. We call this a "helper".  No reshuffling of remaining tiles at any point as this will defeat the purpose of the game which is strategy base. Thank you.
