THE MAHJONG TABLE
American Mahjong Solitaire
A familiar set of tiles. A little space to think.
One player, one thoughtful pair at a time.
Remove matching pairs of available tiles until the board is empty. An available tile has no tile overlapping it from above and at least one open side: left or right.
This is a single-player tile-matching puzzle using American-style tile identities. It does not teach the full multiplayer American Mah Jongg game: there is no Charleston, hand card, calling, or competitive scoring here.
152 on the board. 166 in the artwork catalog.
Each current layout uses 152 active tiles. The 166-piece artwork reference includes extras and spares; it is not a 166-tile deal.
