Why Play Mahjong at Cool Old Games?
Quick Instructions
It is good to know that there are two types of Mahjong.
- The more complicated traditional version played with four people. Very popular in Asia.
- Mahjong Solitaire type games. Popular on the internet and in the West.
Cool Old Games offers the second type. Let us give you some quick instructions on how to play:
- The goal is to eliminate all (144) tiles from the board by pairing them up until no more remain.
- The tiles begin arranged in stacks with their decorated sides face-up, often with multiple tiers visible at the start. Different games can have different layouts.
- You can only remove matching pairs of tiles at a time, gradually revealing lower stacks as you make matches. Tiles can only be matched if they are not locked. The definition of locked differs for each specific game.
- To win, you must empty the entire board of tiles by pairing them all up before the timer runs out, which is usually around 10 minutes.
