Similar to the Western card game rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and luck. The game has also been adapted into a widespread online entertainment. The game and its regional variants are widely played throughout East and Southeast Asia and have also become popular in Western countries. It is commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in parts of China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia). Mahjong or mah-jongg ( English pronunciation: / m ɑː ˈ dʒ ɒ ŋ/ mah- JONG) is a tile-based game that was developed in the 19th century in China and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century. Of course, this takes time and thus it can cost you some points."Mahjong" in Traditional (top) and Simplified (bottom) Chinese characters You have unlimited Undos, so sometimes you can "peek" under other tiles by matching them and then undoing. A hint at that time will relieve the frustration of not being able to find them. With Hints limited to just 10 per game, we suggest that you try to save at least half of your hints for when there are few matches that can be made (see the upper-left of the game which tells you how many matches are available.) For example, when there are only 1 or 2 matches available, it is sometimes difficult to find where they are. Solitaire Network is planning a future variant of Mahjong Rush without timers.) However, it is more important to match the right tiles so that the game can be won than it is to simply play fast. Since the score is determined by how fast you play, if you are trying to maximize your score then it should be obvious that you will want to play as fast as reasonable. Remember that just because you see a match it doesn't mean it is best to take that match right away. When you have 3 matching tiles available, choose 2 of them that cover or block the most other tiles. Also, if you remember that you have previously removed 2 of a certain tile and you see 2 more, it is safe to remove the other 2 tiles. Whenever you see 4 matching tiles, it is always safe to play those right away and remove them all from the layout. Do all that you can to removed these tiles first. Often, there are a few tiles at the start of a layout that block many others. It is beneficial to try to determine this early while playing the layout so that tiles from closed sections are given more consideration over tiles from open sections. Often, different parts of a layout will have open or closed characteristics. A closed layout will tend to offer fewer choices or the same amount as play progresses. An open layout is one that tends to open up more choices as play progresses. Much will depend on how "open" or "closed" a layout is. For example, if the game is won with 5:03.9 remaining then 5039 x 10 points (or 50390) are awarded for the end game bonus.Įach different layout will have its own strategy. The bonus amount is based on the time remaining. At the end of a winning game, a bonus is awarded.For example, if the timer reads 9:23 then 923 points are awarded. Each pair of matched tiles scores the value on the timer.In "Classic Timed" Mahjong Rush there are two ways to score:
