Strategies To Win At Mahjong Solitaire

Mahjong Solitaire can be played with actual playing tiles. It can also be played online at gaming sites that provide the various types of mahjong games. There are altogether 72 pairs of tiles in a game of Mahjong Solitaire, which are found in standard suits. The suits used in Mahjong Solitaire are Seasons, Dragons, Bamboos, Characters, Flowers, Winds and Circles.

 

Pairs have to be matched within tiles of the same suit. But the exception to this rule is from the tile of seasons and flowers. They do not need to match exactly. Since there is only one of each tile, any combination of seasons and flowers counts as a pair.

 

The game ends when there are no more pairs to be matched. You may shuffle tiles up to five times in a game when there are no pairs. But the game ends after these 5 shuffles and there are no more pairs. If you manage to clear the board you go to the next level where you are presented with a different layout of Mahjong Solitaire to challenge you.

 

Look for less significant pairs

 

Most players follow the basic Mahjong strategy of removing the tiles is such a manner that it provides more options for pairing the tiles to be remove as the game progress. Another Mahjong strategy to remember is, that once a pair is eliminated, new tiles have to be opened.

 

A significant thing to remember, is, it’s better to look for the least significant pairs. It is not the best strategy to choose and eliminate the obvious pairs exclusively, like those found in the top level. Getting rid of the obvious pairs in the game may make you vulnerable to lose as the essential tiles remain under cover.
