Rules Online Mahjong Solitaire is easy to learn and is a well-known Chinese Solitaire that you can play for free here at komogvind, free mahjong requires good skills to master. A Mahjong solitaire game consists of a pattern and tiles (usually 144 tiles). You remove one set of matching and identical tiles at a time. This opens up the possibility to use the tiles that are underneath or behind them. If you want a tile to be free, it requires two simple things. There must not be a piece on top of it, and at least one of the long sides must be completely free. See the following examples: Direct blocking A piece under another piece is not free and therefore cannot be selected. Side blocking A piece must have at least one long side completely free to be selected. One side must be completely free These two pieces in the middle cannot be selected as they only have half of their long sides free. To select them, at least one of the two outermost tiles must be removed first. The front of the tiles must be completely free. In this example, the top 2 tiles are blocking the bottom 3 tiles. The face of a tile must be completely free for it to be selected.

Tactics As the courses get harder and harder, it also becomes necessary to use some tactics to get all 3 stars. Basically, it's always about removing tiles to open up opportunities to remove more pairs rather than removing any that don't offer more opportunities.

A good match Two pieces that both open up other pieces below or behind them is a perfect match.

An okay match If it is necessary to match a piece that is in focus with a piece that does not open up the field further, you can do it. But it should only be when you have no other options.

A bad match Pieces that are completely free without locking for other pieces, or only lock for a single other piece, are not good pieces to match with each other. If you only match these pieces, you quickly end up with no free pairs left.

Tactics examples

A difficult course where it is important to focus on the middle long group.

A course where the focus should be on the towers with 4 pieces in height and the elongated elements that lock some of the pieces.

A very difficult course where you have to focus on the top long row and at the same time open up the three columns by removing the top piece.

A course where you again have to focus on the middle long group. Many of the surrounding pieces should only be matched with if absolutely necessary.

Again, it is clear. Here the focus should be on the bottom long groupings. Other pieces that are completely free should be saved for the last phase of the game, if possible.

In this track, the main focus should be on the pieces that block others, once you've opened it up, the focus should be spread across the entire track.

Special pieces Sometimes you can be lucky enough to find a special piece. If you collect gold, silver or bronze pieces, fill up the yellow bar at the top of the game. When it is completely full, you get a bonus spin. There are other special pieces in the game that are even rarer, namely precious stones. You're in no doubt when you come across a gemstone and some are rarer than others. Some gems are only found in the difficult courses and others in the easy ones. If you collect a gem, you will also receive an extra gold star for your collection. You can get 3 gold stars in total for each color gem you find. You can see all the gems you have found in the trophy room on the front page.

Course builder In our free game Mahjong 3 it is also possible to build your own mahjong courses and play your friends' courses. You can find all this on the game's front page under "user courses". If you make a good course, there's a chance it will be published in a new book so that everyone gets a chance to play it. In that case, you will be rewarded with tokens and your username will appear as the builder of the track.

What is a good track? When building a course in our edition of Mahjong games Classic, you should consider two things: the difficulty level and the appearance of the course. Difficult courses are very compact and often don't have many holes, whereas an easy course has many free pieces. These elements can also easily be combined to create a more interesting course. Next, of course, it's also important that the course is visually appealing. Does it look like something specific or does it have some nice shapes? If you build the layout too big with the tiles spread out, the tiles will be very small when you play it, which is not optimal. Also, avoid copying a layout that has already been published or is from Mahjong 2 or that has been made by another user. Copy courses will never be published. Originality pays off. As a rule of thumb, a compact, beautiful and original layout, regardless of difficulty, is a great layout. Good luck with the layout builder.

General about Mahjong

Mahjong is a popular strategic board game that originated in China and has been played for centuries. It is typically played by four players, although there are also variations for three players. Mahjong is known for its beautiful and intricate game pieces and the complex strategy involved in the game.

The game is played with a set of Mahjong tiles, usually consisting of 144 pieces. These tiles are divided into different sets and are typically carved from ivory, bamboo or artificial materials. Each set consists of different characters and symbols, including circles, signs, bamboo and wind and dragon tiles.

The object of Mahjong is to form sets and sequences of tiles to create a complete hand. Each player receives a certain amount of tiles at the start and must then take their turn to draw a tile and then discard a tile until they have a complete hand. A complete hand usually consists of four sets (either three of a kind or a sequence of three) and a pair.

Players attempt to build their hand by collecting pieces from the open wall, which is the central wall of pieces located in the center of the playing area. They can also choose to steal a tile that another player has discarded if it completes a set or sequence in their hand.

Mahjong is known for its many rules and strategic elements. Players must be aware of what tiles are available, what sets and sequences they can form, and what tiles to discard to avoid giving their opponents an advantage.

Mahjong is more than just a game, it's also a social activity that brings family and friends together. It requires concentration, tactical thinking and the ability to read opponents' moves. The game can be played in a relaxed atmosphere or as a competition in tournaments. Mahjong is loved and played all over the world and is a great way to challenge yourself and enjoy time with others.
