Mahjong Solitaire essential
Mahjong Solitaire is a Mahjong-based single player game, where players remove mahjong
tiles from the initial Mahjong layout to clear the playing area completely of tiles by matching pairs of tiles.
Players can remove only those matching pairs of tiles where each tile has at least one side (left or right) free and no other tiles placed on top.
Mahjong Tournament score
The most important thing in online Mahjong Solitaire game is the number of mahjong tiles removed from all the levels.
Players obtain 10 points for each pair removing plus some bonus points for the additional bonus for each level
(each new Mahjong layout) completion. So to the end of the game you have some score.
