Mahjong: These are the rules of the game

In this practical tip, we explain the Mahjong rules. These are fairly simple and will help you learn the game quickly in its various variations.

Mahjong rules - how it works:

The rules of the game for Mahjong are not difficult and can be learned within a few minutes. The aim of the game is to remove all the stones on the board.

• Depending on the variant, you have to remove all stones with the highest possible number of points or as quickly as possible. You can do this by always clicking on two stones with the same motif. These are then removed and you can search for the next same motifs.
• You must not click on any stones that have a neighbor on the right and left. You also cannot select stones that still have a stone above them. So you may only use stones that either have only one stone on the right or left or that are completely free.
• You can play mahjong for free here and go chasing records.

Tips for getting started with Mahjong

• Always try to remove the stones that reveal new stones to you. If a combination exposes little or no stones, leave them there for later.
• Try to expose the horizontal lines first, as it is usually more difficult to remove.
