Jungle Mahjong

Jungle Mahjong keeps its rules short, so this page will too. It is a pair-matching tile game with a jungle theme. You collect identical tiles two at a time, and a tile can only be collected if it is open on its left side or its right side.

A level is complete once every tile has been matched with its partner, and the game is won when you have completed all of the levels. The developer does not say how many levels there are, how the boards are laid out or whether there is a timer, so we will not guess. What is described is the core loop of mahjong solitaire: look over the board, find two identical tiles that both have an open side, remove them, and repeat until nothing is left.

Click with a mouse or touchpad, or tap, to pick a tile that is open on the left or right. Then pick an identical tile that is also open on one side. The pair is collected and leaves the board. Keep collecting pairs until every tile has been matched, which completes the level. Finish all of the levels to win the game.

A tile wedged between neighbours on both sides cannot be taken, so start with tiles at the ends of rows, where one side is already open. Collecting those pairs is also what opens up the tiles next to them. Check both sides of a tile before you count it as available.

Mahjong Bird Tiles adds a second condition, that nothing covers the tile. Travel Mahjong Deluxe uses a similar one-free-side rule with travel tiles and new layouts as you progress.
