Mahjong

The game of the four winds

About this game

Mahjong is the four-player tile game of China, played around the world. Build four sets and a pair before three computer players do: draw, discard, and call chows, pungs and kongs. Hong Kong-style scoring shows exactly which patterns scored and why. Learn in eleven hands-on lessons, watch free Auto Play play a whole hand face-up for you, play three computer levels, get plain-words hints, and solve a new discard puzzle every day. Thick ivory-and-jade tiles, a felt table, large text, reduced motion and three tile-face styles. Play in δΈ­ζ–‡ or English. Score only, no ads, works offline.

How to play

  1. New here? Eleven short lessons teach every step, or watch free Auto Play play a whole hand face-up for you.
  2. Each turn you draw a tile and discard one. TAP a tile to lift it, then TAP it again (or DRAG it up) to discard.
  3. Build four sets and a pair: a chow is three in a row in one suit, a pung is three alike, a kong is four alike.
  4. When another player discards a tile you can use, TAP Chow, Pung, Kong or Win!, or TAP Pass. A short timer runs; you can turn it off.
  5. Win! beats Pung and Kong, which beat Chow. A chow may only be taken from the player before you.
  6. A win needs at least 1 fan (or 3 in Settings). The score screen shows each pattern and why it scored.
  7. Tap Why? for advice on your discard. The daily challenge is three puzzles, the same for everyone.
  8. Play a Quick hand or a whole East round of four deals. Your hand is saved when you leave.
