Helloooooo ..... from the New No2.
I'm colour Blind and can't see the tiles real well ... but I'm determined to be No'1.
(Maybe you could tell me how to start a game when three of the tiles are under the center one and they are all the same)

Lol Bssgrl - you will never be happy with 10th place.
My Goal - is to finish it in under 3 minutes.... but I find the tiles a bit small to play the game quick enough.  |

Hello sevVen,
It's called "RESET"! LOL (that is if the one on top of the three is also the same as those 3) - if not, play away. the fourth one is out there somewhere....

Thanks Shannon (Lovely name btw)
Yes - lol - I've been hitting the reset button .... I just thought that I was missing some part of the gamepley as I have never played it before.
Would you be prepared to give away any other tips?
It says that it is better to clear the center tiles first - but I have found it better to clear the edge first and work in ..??  |

I don't have any kind of strategy. I just play. If I see a match, I match it. I try to work on the edges and middle equally if possible. My strategy is to just work as fast as possible. That's about it. The rest is just luck!
Shannon
ps. being new to the game. in case you didn't know. here are a few pointers
1. matches are not necessarily true matches when it comes to the flower looking tiles. any flower looking tiles will match any of the other flower looking tiles. however, flower looking tiles without symbols have to be paired with others without symbols, and flower looking tiles with symbols have to be paired with others with symbols.
2. there are 4 of every tile, so once you've made two matches with the same tile, that tile is no longer on the board for that game
also. thanks for the compliment! |

Thanks for that.
I guess I am just too slow then.
(That and the fact that the one with the five dots never seems to be there when you need it )

the way i play it (though it doesnt work too well judging by my scores) is by taking out the tiles that will give me more tiles in return first, so instead of taking out two tiles and getting back one i take two and get back three creating a better chance for me too find new conections, eventually you will have to take the tiles that don't give you alot in return but you do end up freeing up alot of tiles  |

That is so awesome!! I've always been a fan of mahjong. It's one of my all time favorite games. I've played it since I was very small. I've always wondered what some of the symbols meant. I'll have to look it up sometime.
Shannon :-) |
firstly i have to say that i was kind of kidding on my previous post , some symbols are chinese , but some are not , they just have their own meanings , for example , the symbol --" bird" , but it's not a bird actually ( omg... how to explain it with my chenglish correctly LOL. and i do want to tell you some interesting meanings of those words ,but i fould i couldn't type chinese on this thread ) .
Normally, four person sit around the table and play it as a gambling over here ,and it has many game rules hehehe.
we can invite another 2 guys and play it on yahoo game sometime it's would be fun ! |

Hi Tammy , this web site is very useful for translating word by word , but as for sentence , mmmm i have to admit that it works definitely cool ... when i typed " what are you doing now " in english , it displayed " who are you and doing now " in chinese  |
