Mahjong Connect: A Modern Twist on a Classic

Mahjong Connect is a fresh take on the traditional mahjong board game, also known by names like Four Rivers or Shisen-Sho. The goal is simple yet engaging: match pairs of identical tiles that can be connected with a path that makes no more than two turns. Once matched, the tiles are removed from the board. Your mission is to clear every tile from the layout and advance through each level.

This innovative twist on the classic game adds a new layer of strategy and challenge, making it a favorite for both casual players and puzzle enthusiasts.

About the Tiles
Mahjong Connect uses classic mahjong tiles, but with a twist. Each level introduces slight variations in the non-suited tiles, and sometimes unique tiles are added to keep the gameplay fresh and exciting.

How to Play
The objective is simple: clear the board by removing all the tiles. You can match identical tiles if they are connected by a path with no more than two turns.

• Hints: If you’re stuck, you can use the Hint button up to six times during the entire game. Completing a level rewards you with an additional hint, so use them wisely!
• Shuffle: If no moves are available, the tiles will automatically shuffle without any penalty.
• Pro Tip: Start by scanning the edges of the layout for potential matches—it’s a great way to get ahead!
• Time Pressure
  At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a timer bar ticking down. Your task is to complete each level before time runs out. But don’t worry—every time you successfully match a pair of tiles, you’ll earn extra time to keep the game going.

  Levels and Challenges
  The game features 12 unique levels, each with its own set of tiles and dynamic movement patterns. For example, in Level 1, tiles shift upward in the top half of the board and downward in the bottom half whenever a pair is removed. As you progress, the levels become more intricate and engaging.

  Scoring System
  Earn 10 points for every pair you match. When you finish a level, you’ll also receive a bonus based on the remaining time, adding an extra layer of excitement to your gameplay.

  Easy Controls
  Selecting tiles is simple—just click on any visible tile with your mouse. There are no restrictions, so you can focus on strategizing and solving the puzzles.

  A Bit of History
  Mahjong Connect first launched in May 2009 as a Flash game, quickly becoming a favorite among puzzle enthusiasts.

  Game Variants
  Over time, several creative variants of Mahjong Connect have emerged. Popular versions include Butterfly Kyodai, which features beautifully designed butterfly-themed tiles, and Dream Pet Link, where adorable animal tiles take center stage.
