![]() ![]() The way that the pieces are offset affects what part of the interior piece is covered, and that affects the value of the covered piece. In the “Turtle” layout below take a look at the left and right center sections. ![]() See how that works? 7 from the left + 1 from the right. But guess what! If #5 bamboo has already been removed then #8 sticks is worth 8 points. It works on a + 1 point for each tile position away from the outer edge (The 1 st tile is one, the second two, etc.), and so working left to right #8 sticks (above) is worth 7 points. ![]() Knowing that will help you to play these tiles to take advantage of it. When playing the row in the green box above from left to right or vice versa, the further from the outside piece you get the more the tiles are worth. How that plays out is up to you & the deal. That’s because it takes work to “uncover them”, and so you are rewarded for that. Then as you move into the interior of the layout each tile becomes worth an additional point.Īs you move into the interior pieces they increase in value. At the very start of a layout every tile on the outer edges of every layer that can be removed first are worth one point. Now, before we go score 1,000 +, there are some basic scoring facts you should know. The top or bottom edges of the tile don’t matter, just the right or left side must be clear. It also cannot have a tile sitting on any part of the face of it. In case you haven’t figured it out by now, the basic fact of the game is that one side of a tile must be clear for it to be removed. In that case you will always have to clear both sides. Ocasionally they will deal three packed side by side. Right now, we have all four of each kind on the board so we can use the other two to separate the doubled up pair. If they were the last two of their kind left you would have to clear both sides of them to remove them and that can create a problem for you on occasion. Notice: There are two situations that come up that you always should be aware of, and that’s double tiles in the same row. YOU LOSE! Most of the time you will have matching tiles on the same level with each other, but not always. This can be dangerous when it creates a blocked tile that is imposible to get to. WARNING: There are times when you will want to match tiles that are on two different levels in the layout. The time has absolutely NO affect on your score. The above bar is at the bottom of the game board & shows you how many tile pairs are currently free to remove, tiles remaining, your score & the # of seconds that have transpired throughout the game. We’ll get into great detail on how these tiles make or break your score, but understand this – these 16 tiles, when played right, will give you much more than half of your total score! But, the 16 most important tiles in the grand total of 144 are the “Four Winds”.Īppropriately named N, S, E, & W (North, South, East & West) for the main directions of the compass, each of them has 4 tiles. The “Four Season” & “Four Flower” tiles add 8 more tiles to the mix, and their basic values are higher than the primary tiles. Each class of tiles have #’s from 1 to 9, and there are 4 tiles of each. (the # of bamboo chunks on the tile match the tile #), “Balls” (the # of circles on the tile match the tile #) and Characters, I’m going to call the character tiles sticks (the # of sticks on the tile match the tile #). Tiles are removed in pairs and must be exact matches. These two tiles are the only two on the 4 th level up from the bottom. They obviously must be removed before you can remove the tiles they cover up. If you don’t yet know the basic rules to Mahjong Solitaire, specifically the Mahjong Titans version, you will find this to be the easiest description available anywhere as we’ll be able to enjoy the numerous screen shots to actually see from top to bottom of this instruction set.Īt the very center of this layout are two tiles (Green Box) that are at the very top of the stacks. (There are 6 different layouts) I have personally found that the Crab layout is the easiest one for me to get high scores on. ![]() Here you see the Mahjong Titans version of Mahjong Solitaire with the very beginning of the “Crab” layout. Mahjong Solitaire has a free version from Microsoft called Mahjong Titans that comes with the Windows 7, and that is what I focus on in this tutorial.
