About Mahjong

Clear a layered table of carved wardstones by removing matching free pairs. Look beneath the upper stones and choose pairs that open useful paths through the layout.

How to play

Goal
Clear every stone from the table, two matching free stones at a time.
How it ends
A table is won when the last pair lifts off. Undo is free, so there is no way to lose.
Record
The fastest first clear of each table, with its holder's name.
  1. Take two stones carrying the same ward. Pick one and every stone that would match it glows.
  2. A stone can be taken when nothing is on top of it and its left or right side is clear — covered stones are dimmed.
  3. Run out of moves? Undo. It is free, it is unlimited, and the way through is still there.

Good to know

A best time is kept for each table. Asking for a hint takes that run off the clock; undo does not. Progress and settings are saved in this browser.
