## What is Shisen?

Shisen-Sho sometimes referred to as 'Shisen', 'Four Rivers' or simply 'Rivers,' is a Japanese tile-based game which uses Mahjong tiles, and is similar to Mahjong solitaire. The objective of the game is to match similar tiles in pairs until every tile has been removed from the playing field. Numerous computer based versions of the game have been developed.

Rules

Two tiles can be removed if they can be connected by up to three horizontal or vertical lines which pass only through empty spaces. The game is over if future moves are not possible and tiles are left on the board, or the player successfully removes all the tiles.

### 3/5 — Loved it until the screaming ads showed up

*2025-12-05*

I thoroughly enjoyed this game for a few days. It’s hard to find mahjong games that feature the Four Rivers/Shisen Sho formation. The game is very basic: you can’t choose the tiles or background. But the tiles are easy to read. 

The game froze every few sessions; annoying, but I could live with it. Initially, the game displayed silent ads in a banner at the bottom. These didn’t interrupt game play. But after a few days, the game started presenting loud, full-screen ads. There’s no option to turn off the sound. They were so annoying that I uninstalled the app. So disappointed!
