A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LEARNING THE GAME AND PLAYING WITH CONFIDENCE.
Mahjong Solitaire looks simple at first. Find matching tiles, remove them, and work your way through the stack. But if you're new, it isn't always obvious which tiles you can play or which pair you should take first. Make the wrong move and you can find yourself in trouble later.
This practical guide shows you what to look for at every stage, helping you make better choices and win more games.
Lois Pruitt has played Mahjong Solitaire for nearly twenty years and has helped countless new players learn the game. She wrote this guide to give beginners the kind of clear, practical instruction she wishes she'd had when she first started.
INSIDE, YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:
- Recognise which tiles are free, so you know what you can remove and why some tiles cannot be played
- Read the board before you start matching, using a simple four-part scan to see what is available and what needs to be uncovered
- Choose the right pairs, rather than simply removing the first matching tiles you find
- Avoid the moves that quietly ruin a board, including mistakes that can leave you with no legal moves later
- Use six winning habits, knowing which ones matter most when a layout becomes difficult
- Spot the endgame traps, including blocked rows and stacks that can leave you with no way to finish
- Work through a hard board step by step, seeing how your choices affect everything that follows
Also includes a full game played from start to finish, showing you how the decisions work in practice, plus extra help for difficult boards, a four-week practice plan and a plain-English glossary.
You'll find clear illustrations and straightforward explanations throughout. The guide also shows you how to play on a phone or tablet and build the classic turtle layout with real tiles.
By the end, you'll understand how the game works, what to look out for, and feel confident playing on your own.
If you've been curious about Mahjong Solitaire but don't know where to start, this guide will take you through it one tile at a time.
