What is mahjong?

Mahjong — often mistakenly spelled as majong, mah jong, or even mah jongg — is a classic tile-matching game that originated in China. There are various types of mah-jongg games out there, but the one that made the biggest impact on the video game industry is mahjong solitaire. It's a single-player variant where players match pairs of tiles one after another to eventually clear the table of all the tiles.

Building system

As a real architect, you will be tasked with renovating old buildings and constructing new ones in the settlement. You will need to complete puzzle levels and quests in order to get the resources needed for the construction. So, the more tile-pairing puzzles you complete, the more city-building options you will have. Renovating buildings and building something from scratch will grant you all sorts of rewards, as well as advance the storyline. Many of the characters in the game will unlock new quests and story options once you finish working on a building they occupy. So think carefully about who you want to help first and set your priorities! 

General information

Levels

The game offers thousands of free mahjong puzzle levels set in a beautifully designed classic Ancient Egypt theme. New challenges and quests are added regularly through updates and time-limited events.

Difficulty

The difficulty of the game is not something you choose in the settings. It's a gradual curve that allows you to slowly but surely master the classic art of tile pairing and matching. The initial levels are simple and easy and are quick to complete, yet as you progress, the quests become more difficult and challenging. Thus, the game offers an interesting puzzle to both beginners and experienced players alike: the ones new to gaming will enjoy the gradual increase in difficulty, and the hardcore gamers will admire the hard brain-teasing levels that unlock once you blast through the initial tutorial.

Mahjong rules

The most basic rules of mahjong solitaire go like this. Your main goal in mahjong solitaire is to clear the board from tiles by matching pairs of identical tiles. You finish the game once you remove all the tiles. Usually, there are about 100-150 tiles on the table at the start of a level, and they have different symbols on them: some abstract, some thematic to the Ancient Egyptian setting. To remove tiles from the game board, find and match identical ones. Keep in mind that only tiles not blocked by others on their sides can only be matched. The gameplay is pretty straightforward: select two identical tiles one after the other and make them vanish. Keep doing this until all tiles are gone from the game board.

Features and game mechanics

Just like the best G5 games, Pyramid of Mahjong features a bunch of popular and engaging in-game mechanics.

Power-Ups

Completing challenging levels or just speeding up your progress is easier when you have a few boosters or power-ups up your sleeve. These special items have unique abilities that will aid you on your journey. For instance, some of these power-ups show which tiles can be removed, others shuffle tiles on the screen to give a new perspective, and some can even remove several pairs in a row, making pure level progress. Using them wisely requires a good strategy and a deep understanding of the game,

Collections

Many G5 titles feature collection-building mechanics, and Pyramid of Mahjong is one of them. Completing quests and levels will grant various rewards, and collection items are among them. Once you get all the items of a certain collection, you can turn the collection in, which will give you some experience, some currency, and a bunch of additional goodies like power-ups. So start hunting for these collection items early on because they'll make your gameplay experience much richer and more engaging.
