Play classic Mahjong (also known as Mahjongg or Majong) Solitaire with colorful, epic galaxy, space, planets theme on your mobile devices. Mahjong Solitaire is easy to play and this version has a simple tap interface, good for single touch (one tap) game play. In Mahjong, you're presented with stacks of tiles, forming towers, pyramids, or other abstract structures. Your task is to find and match identical tiles and clear the board. It's not as simple as it sounds, because some tiles are blocked, and you must try to move tiles that will unblock more tiles. The challenge in the game, is to not end up with an unsolvable board. So carefully plan your moves before picking tiles to match. Some moves will free more tiles and that is usually (but not always) a good move. Some moves may cause the board to be unsolvable (because all tiles can end up being blocked), but when that happens, the game has a feature that allows shuffling the board. This game contains over 600 board layouts (levels), all free to play, including the classic/traditional turtle/pyramid board layout. Some of the layout contains an epic number of tiles (300+) which should provide plenty of challenge for Mahjong fans. Tile positions on the game boards are placed randomly on every board - with a special algorithm that makes them always solvable if you make the correct moves. And more importantly, because the tile placements on every level are randomly generated, the levels are re-playable. The game keep tracks of the best times of and the number of wins on each board, so you can challenge yourself to go faster and beat your previous best time on that level. So if you enjoy Mahjong Solitaire, galaxy, astronomy, outer space, stars, and planets, then checkout this free app. Enjoy relaxing time and challenge yourself by matching tiles and become a Mahjong Solitaire master. Summary of Features - Classic traditional Mahjong Solitaire board game rules. It's like tile matching, but requires more strategy, so it is deceptively simple while being hard to master. - Over 600 levels free to play, with variety of challenging layout.s All are free to play (no In App Purchase required). - Intuitive touch interface, one touch game mechanic. Just tap two matching free tiles to remove them. - Shuffle tiles and hint option are available, in case you reach a dead end in the game. - Space and galaxy themed tiles, with epic outer space images and photos.
