Mahjong is a board game that is played with 36 different tiles. Each tile is represented with 4 copies, making it a total of 44 tiles.
Your goal is to pair up all the symbols on the board, following a few rules. For a tile to be considered 'opened' it has to be 'free' (no tile/empty spot) on either the left, right or both sides and on the top. The game will highlight only 'open' tiles to help you select and try to pair up two matching symbols.
All Mahjong tiles come in 4 identical copies, except Flowers and Seasons tiles. 4 flowers tiles are considered pairable but they come in slight graphical variations. The same goes for 4 Seasons tiles.
