Description

Mah-Jongg is the very first computer implementation of the solitaire variant of Mahjongg, also known as Shanghai. Normal Mahjongg tiles are stacked on a specifically shaped pile called a turtle and the player must match two identical tiles to be able to remove them, but the tiles must be free to take (e.g. not support other tiles on top of them). The goal is to clear the entire board of tiles.
