Game Play
Open stones
An open stone is a stone which has no stones directly on top of it and at least one side (left or right) does not have a tile next to it.
You can only select open stones.
Open stones have a lighter background color whereas closed stones have a darker background color.
When you select open stones they are highlighted with an orange border.
Concept matching
In most Mahjong Solitaire games the objects shown on the tiles must identically match.
In this game the goal is to match tiles which are conceptually related, but opposites in day to day life, state, or as explained in a childhood story.
Example matches include:
cop & robber
full battery & empty battery
full shopping cart & empty shopping cart
fire & water
turtle & rabbit
happy face & sad face
girl & boy
wolf & sheep
volcano & ice mountain
sun & moon
angel & demon bat
cat & mouse
green leaf & dead leaf
Levels
Each level has a unique board layout and level timer.
The first stage gives you 2:00 to complete it.
The level time increases by 5 seconds on each subsequent level.
By the time you get to level 10 the play time limit increases to 2:50.
This game has a total of 50 levels to play through.
If you fail a level you can either try again to continue your game, or select the end game button.
If you click the End Game button it clears out your game progress & you would start back at the first level the next time you play the game.
A level is considered beat if you remove all the tiles before the timer runs out.
If it is impossible to make a match without shuffling the tiles you will get an automatic shuffle.
This means that if the tiles do not shuffle at least one open match remains.
If an automated shuffle can not create a match (like when all remaining tiles are on top of each other or share a single common top tile above them) then it means the level is beat, even if tiles remain on it.
Strategy
Typically it makes sense to match from the edges of the widest columns and deepest stacks first to help open up the playing field.
Since you are matching concepts, if you get stuck on a particular tile skip over it and match other tiles first, or use our above example matches list to help you identify what goes with what.
Other than the time used during trial and error, you are not penalized for trying to match incorrect tiles.
Scoring
Your game score is cumulative across levels.
Each tile pair you make is worth 100 points.
Your remaining time when you complete a level is worth 30 points per second.
Hints cost 200 points.
Shuffling tiles costs 300 points.
You can submit your high score when your game ends, either by losing a level or by completing all 50 levels.
If you click the End Game button it clears out your game progress & you would start back at the first level the next time you play the game.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like Mahjong Solitaire games.
The game has no adult themed content.
