🀄 Game Rules – Mahjong Social – Mahjong Social

Welcome to the tournament! Here’s everything you need to know to master the matches and claim victory.

🎯 Tournament Structure

Players: Each tournament consists of 8 players.
Rounds: There are 3 elimination rounds. After each round, the winners move forward until only one player remains — the champion!

🧩 Gameplay Basics

🕹️ Starting the Round

Each player is presented with a Mahjong board filled with tiles.
Your task is to find and remove matching pairs of tiles.
Only free tiles can be selected — these are tiles that aren’t blocked on either side and don’t have any tile on top.

🚫 Blocked Tiles

Tiles are blocked if:
- They have tiles on both the left and right sides, or
- Another tile is placed directly on top of them.

🧮 Scoring

+1 point for every correct pair you remove.
+50 bonus points if you clear the entire board before your opponent.

🏁 Ending a Round

The round ends in one of two ways:

Victory by Clearing
One player removes all tiles from the board before the other — automatic win!
Victory by Points
- If there are no more moves and tiles remain, the player can tap the “New Game” button to end their turn.
- The opponent then has 2 extra minutes to finish the round.
- If neither player clears the board, the one with the highest score when the round ends wins.
