Microsoft Mahjong 4.2.3180.0

Microsoft Mahjong is a captivating tile-matching game that offers a free alternative to the classic Mahjong Solitaire. Developed by Oberon Games and now published by Microsoft, this latest version of Mahjong includes various background changes and tile collections to enhance your gaming experience.

The objective of the game is to match two tiles at a time until there are no tiles left on the board. While the concept may seem simple, the game can be quite challenging and addictive for both kids and adults.

Featuring improved graphics and multiple tile options, Microsoft Mahjong provides a visually appealing interface with six different layouts to choose from, including Cat, Dragon, Crab, Turtle, Spider, and Fortress. Each layout is beautifully designed to represent the chosen animal or item.

In addition to layout choices, the game offers five background options and four collections of tiles, allowing you to customize your gaming experience according to your preferences.

Playing Microsoft Mahjong is easy. Once you download and install the game, a set of Mahjong tiles will appear on your screen. To match similar tiles, simply click on two tiles consecutively. The matching tiles will disappear, revealing hidden tiles underneath. Your goal is to remove all visible tiles from the board to win the game.

While the game follows an algorithm that positions and organizes tiles for easy matching, some tiles may be hidden beneath others, making the puzzles more challenging to solve.

Microsoft Mahjong features a scoring system that rewards you based on the value of each tile. Removing a tile increases your score by its base value, which is then multiplied by half the value of the remaining tiles. To achieve a high score, prioritize matching tiles with the highest value.

The latest version of Microsoft Mahjong offers visually attractive themes and relaxing background music to enhance your gaming experience. You can choose from four different tile collections and five background images to personalize the game according to your preferences.

Compete in daily challenges and earn badges to showcase your victory. The challenges feature different gameplay options with hidden pairs of tiles, providing additional excitement and variety. The game also includes over 40 different puzzles to keep you engaged and entertained.

Unlike traditional Mahjong Solitaire games where you can't reverse steps, Microsoft Mahjong allows you to undo matched tiles. If you make a mistake, you can rewind a few steps, fix any errors, or take a completely new approach to earn extra points.

To earn badges and achievements, sign in to your Microsoft account. This allows you to play with friends, track statistics, increase your ranking on the leaderboard, and easily save your progress on the cloud.

Microsoft Mahjong can be played solo or with other players. By signing in to your Microsoft account and going online, you can enjoy the game with your friends. If playing with someone, the objective is to accumulate the maximum paired tiles or match the last available tiles to win. The player with the highest score at the end of the game emerges as the winner.

Microsoft Mahjong is free to download and play. It offers hours of entertainment and allows you to save your progress using Microsoft's cloud storage. However, an active internet connection is required to play the game.

If you're a fan of puzzle and card games like Solitaire and Sudoku, Microsoft Mahjong is a must-download. With its clean and simple interface, various layout and background image options, and relaxing music, the game provides a delightful gaming experience. Compete against friends, earn achievements, and explore the numerous features available by logging in to the Microsoft store.
