- Matching stones
- Identical
- Most tile matches must be identical, with the exception of flower tiles & season tiles.
- Any flower tile can be matched with any flowers. Flowers have red numbers in the upper left corner.
- Any season tile can be matched with any seasons. Seasons have a red Chinese character in the upper right corner.
- Drawing lines
- When you connect stones they must be able to be connected with a line which does not pass through any other stones, and is one of the following:
- horizontal
- vertical
- vertical and horizontal with no more than 2 right angle turns
- When you select a stone it turns yellow.
- If the second tile selected is a valid match and a line can be created which satisfies the above criteria the line will be drawn in pink and the stones will be removed from the board.
- Filling
- Many Mahjong Connect games fill tiles in a particular direction as tiles are removed from the board.
- In this game tiles do not move or fill as other tiles are removed.
- Levels
- This game has 3 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
- Time limit
- The first level has a 10 minute time limit.
- The second level has a 15 minute time limit.
- The third level has a 20 minute time limit.
- Stones
- The first level consists of a 8 by 18 grid containing 144 stones, or 72 stone pairs.
- The second level consists of a 9 by 24 grid containing 216 stones, or 108 stone pairs.
- The third level consists of a 12 by 24 grid containing 288 stones, or 144 stone pairs.
- Scoring
- Your game score is cumulative across levels.
- Scoring points
- Each tile pair matched is worth 50 points.
- Each second remaining when a level is beat is worth 30 points.
- Spending points
- Shuffling tiles costs 250 points.
- Hints cost 150 points.
- Strategy
- The easiest stones to match are the corner stones since they can match in either direction.
- Up next, the outer edges are the easiest to match.
- It is easier to match horizontally than vertically since rows are longer than columns are tall.
- In general shuffles are cheaper than hints in terms of the value you get out of them as shuffles typically make it quite easy to find multiple matches quickly.
- With each second remaining on the timer being worth 30 points you only need to save 9 seconds of play for a shuffle to more than pay for itself.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like traditional Mahjong Connect tile match games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
