"Mahjong Tile Connect" is simple and deep solitaire game that uses the mah-jong tile. Everyone can readily enjoy it. The rule is very easy. If two mah-jong tiles of the same design that queues up in the screen are taken by one pair, and all tiles are taken, it becomes clear. The selection of the tile does the tile with the finger by touching directly. The tile that can be taken has the condition like the under. - The tile that length and breadth adjoins can be taken. - The tile at the position that can be connected by the straight line in length and breadth can be taken. - The tile at the position where the straight line bends up to two times can be taken, too. It becomes "GameOver" when the tile that can be taken is lost. Of not becoming "GameOver", there is a tile that can surely be taken. (Please refer to the web page for a detailed rule) There are some game modes in "Mahjong Tile Connect". "Endless-Mode" that can be slowly enjoyed indefinitely. Attack mode etc. that compete for time and score. It is possible to play by various styles. About the Challenge Mode: The tile of a full screen is taken in the time limit. The tile is erased before the timer gauge disappears and the score is earned. It is game over when all the remainder gauge tanks are lost. A special stage sometimes comes out. When you clear a special stage, the reserve tank increases or a special bonus can be gotten. ## Key features - Easy-to-learn mahjong tile matching - Connect tiles with up to two bends - Endless game mode - Timed challenge mode - Special stages and bonuses - Game over if no tiles can be taken ## Recent user reviews (10 of 26) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mahjong-tile-connect/id323678837/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Congrats! *2025-07-08* Nice job! Redoing Shisen-sho. Same simple format, works a bit smoother. I use it for the doctors office waiting room etc. Bonus is the ‘Shuffle’ option if no more tiles can be matched. (I always suspected it moved tiles sometimes when I wasn’t looking.) Moving the Hint to the right side takes getting used to but on the whole good to know that the game has been reinvigorated and won’t be going away. Need to index it also under the original nsme of the game - Shisen Sho - in the App Store. ### 2/5 — 前の方が良かった *2025-06-10* 元々ランキング形式では遊んでなくて、手詰まったり、最後までクリアできるのを楽しんでましたが、勝手にシャッフルされるようになって残念。 ### 4/5 — シンプルでいい *2025-06-01* せっかく作り替えてくださったのに申し訳ですが前の仕様の方が好きでした…！でもこれからも遊びます ### 3/5 — 以前の方が良かった *2025-05-05* バックグラウンドで好きな音楽を聴きながらプレイする事ができなくなってしまった。 **Developer response:** いつもアプリを遊んでいただきありがとうございます！ ご不便をおかけして申し訳ございません。 以前と同様にお好きな音楽を聴きながらプレイできるよう対応しました。 アップデートおねがいします。 ### 1/5 — ランキング *2025-05-05* アップデートしたらこれまでの記録が消えてしまった **Developer response:** ながく遊んでいただきありがとうございます。 記録が消えることとなってしまい大変申し訳ございません。 今回は新規アプリとして用意したものを（遺憾ながら）アップデートというかたちで配信することになってしました。そのため以前の記録を読み込むことができず新規でのプレイとなってしまいました。 ### 2/5 — 静かに楽しむには不向き *2024-05-16* 急に大音量で広告がはいり周囲の人から見られる ### 4/5 — 広告のサウンドも連動を *2024-03-31* プレイ中のサウンドをオフにしているのに広告が大音量で流れるのが困る。 ### 2/5 — Too many unwinnable games *2023-07-16* Was getting a number of games lost. The final straw was one where I was only able to make two matches before the game was over. ### 2/5 — 点数 *2023-04-11* チャレンジの点数が999,999点から上がらないので楽しくない ### 2/5 — 広告を消すと… *2022-12-07* 広告を消すとGoogleはこの広告の表示を停止と書かれてる画面が全画面を覆って消えず、立ち上げ直さないと後が遊べない。 ## Frequently asked questions about Mahjong Tile Connect ### What is Mahjong Tile Connect?
