Most of the time I will have a fresh set of eyes! My go to game while I am bored! 🤷‍♂️ ### 3/5 — Needs update *2024-07-05, version 2.52* Love this game but needs updating and new games ### 3/5 — Review *2021-07-31, version 2.52* This is a fun game. I would like to see one improvement. It would be nice to see the high score displayed for each layout, because some of the layouts are more difficult than others, and the same scores cannot be achieved. ### 5/5 — Mahjong *2021-04-26, version 2.52* Very challenging. Good brain exercise. Need new layout designs ### 5/5 — Never boring! *2021-02-19, version 2.52* I play this nearly every day! It’s free, ever changing and enough different games to keep me happy! ### 3/5 — New music? *2020-10-07, version 2.52* What new music? There is none since updating. ### 5/5 — Seven thousand steps *2020-09-12, version 2.51* A great game all though very hard my best score being 1890, I have just completed a game with 1805 points, but that’s my challenge. ### 1/5 — Was great, not now *2020-08-21, version 2.51* Must have done an update. App used to remember the exact game, now it doesnt, so if I want a different game, I have to track it. Boo! ### 5/5 — Отличный маджонг *2020-01-06, version 2.9* Действительно отличный маджонг, ничего лишнего, хорошая музыка и рисовка, без проблем работает на iOS 13. Из недостатков - хотелось бы таблицу рекордов для каждой из раскладок, а не одну на все. ### 3/5 — SOOO Much fun, until it’s not... *2019-06-10, version 2.9* I absolutely LOVE this game!! I enjoy games that challenge me, and this one definitely does that. The reason I only gave 3 stars is because, like a lot of other games, once you get to a certain level, it becomes LITERALLY impossible...I have been playing the “Pyramid” level off and on for LITERALLY 4 years....since I had my second child...and I can’t tell you how many times that level gives me the restart/shuffle option after 1 move...I would say without exaggeration, that for every 20 times I play the level, 10 will result in a restart/shuffle after the 1st move, 6 after the 2nd, and the rest within 5 moves or less. When it gets to that point, the enjoyment goes away. There have been a handful of times (like maybe 4 or 5) that I have gotten to 10 tiles or less after the 2nd shuffle and it stacks the numbers on top of each other so you just can’t win. I think it would be so so much better if there were another shuffle or 2 added for the last few levels. I want to beat this level SO bad, and I don’t think it will ever happen...and when I get to that point, I start deleting stuff...and I don’t want to delete this game, because like I said, I enjoy it a lot. And I understand that it has to get harder and harder, but there has to be some point where it’s not LITERALLY impossible. That’s just my 2 cents... ## Frequently asked questions about SillyTale MahJong HD ### What is the objective of SillyTale MahJong HD?
