No ads. No tracking. No in-app purchases. No internet required. Why this game exists This game is a tribute to my father, who introduced me to Mahjong in the 1980s. He passed away before my son Leon was born, so they never met. Leon helped shape the game as its youngest (and loudest) stakeholder. In a small way, this game became a bridge between them. Three generations. One love for games. Lucas and Leon
