However, I don’t know how to obtain different layout options. I continue to have the same layout for every game, but I would like to use other layouts. It seems difficult to find these. Thus, I have rated this game with 4 stars rather than 5. It shouldn’t be difficult to pick a different layout at the start of a new game. I would happily revise my review to 5 stars if I was able to easily change the tile layout. ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2017-02-12* So addictive!! ### 5/5 — A FUN GAME *2016-12-06* Enjoyable game with a slight twist that has been added since I downloaded this years ago & which will encourage more playing. ### 5/5 — I'm Hooked! *2016-09-05* This game is addictive!! ### 1/5 — Needs improvement *2014-01-05* 30 second ads are awful. Buttons often don't recognize when touched, a problem for a game where speed is the goal. Very frustrating bc could be fun. ### 4/5 — Sub 45 second scores *2013-10-19* Several times I have gotten a 41 or 42 second score and the game will freeze up on me. This is on my iPad and my iPhone. Is there a problem that anyone else has submitted to you and you are working on. I have recorded several 45 - 47 seconds I consider alright but I want the ones I hit lower on the leader board. You may ask how do I know I got a low score like that. A stop watch. Good game though. ### 5/5 — Fabulous waste of time *2013-06-01* Can't stop trying to best my own score and I think I've reached the max for the age of my reflexes but does that stop me? No. Clearly I want my life to be as empty as the board when I've moved all those pairs off it. Don't get started - and that's a fair warning. Works better on phone than iPad. ### 3/5 — まぁ、おもしろいかな♪ *2013-02-17* まぁまぁだよ♪ ### 4/5 — Intéressant *2013-01-14* Bon jeu pour une initiation à ce genre de Majhong, permet aux enfants de jouer comme les grands. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2012-11-04* Love abc solitaire, thought I'd try this game too. Very buggy. Can't clear tiles when moved to match. Seems like touch required might be pounding, which sometimes worked. I am deleting this game ## Frequently asked questions about zMahjong Mini by SZY ### What is zMahjong Mini? zMahjong Mini is a speed-focused version of Mahjong Solitaire.
