Mahjong Big

🎮 How to Play

Learn how to play Mahjong Big by matching identical tile pairs that are open on at least two sides. Click or tap a tile to select it, then find and select its matching pair to remove both from the board. The core gameplay revolves around careful observation to find available matches, strategically clearing layers to unlock tiles beneath. Your goal is to completely clear the intricate tile layout. Success requires both a sharp eye for patterns and strategic planning to avoid getting stuck.

🎯 Objectives

The primary objective in Mahjong Big is to completely clear the board of all tiles by matching every pair. Your short-term goal is to strategically remove tiles to open up new layers and avoid dead ends. For long-term success and high scores, aim to make matches quickly to earn time bonuses and create chain reactions. Victory is achieved by efficiently clearing the entire layout without any remaining blocked tiles. Maximizing your score involves planning several moves ahead and using power-ups sparingly.

💡 Pro Tips

• 🎪 Always prioritize matching tiles that unlock the largest number of new tiles or clear entire layers. This opens up the board and gives you more options.
• ⚡ Use the Shuffle and Hint features strategically. Save them for when you are genuinely stuck to maximize their value and preserve your score multiplier.
• 💰 For a higher score, focus on speed. Consecutive matches made quickly build a combo multiplier, significantly boosting your points.
• 🏆 Plan multiple moves ahead. Instead of making the first match you see, scan the entire board for sequences of moves that will keep the board open.
• 🎪 Pay special attention to tiles buried under others; freeing them early prevents them from becoming trapped later.
• ⚡ Memorize tile patterns and locations. If you see a pair but can't match it yet, remember its position for when it becomes available.
• 💰 Keep an eye on the timer; while not always strict, finishing faster often rewards bonus points, which are essential for topping the leaderboards.
