Gameplay
The goal in Mahjong Gardens is to free the birds by removing all tiles from the board.
Tiles can be removed by matching pairs of identical tiles that are open. A tile is open when at least one of its sides (left or right) is free.
If you are stuck, you can ask for a hint or shuffle the board. Shuffling is only allowed 3 times in a game.
Time Limit
Mahjong Gardens does not have a time limit. Take all the time you want to find matching tiles.
Developer / history
The game is developed by GameYard. It was originally developed in Flash technology, so we are using an emulator (Ruffle) to make it possible to still play the game.
