Christmas Mahjong: match pairs of festive tiles

How to play

The goal is to clear the board by taking off the tiles in matching pairs. A tile is free when no tile lies on top of it and its left or its right side is open; blocked tiles cannot be picked. Click or tap two free tiles that match – the same shape and the same colour, with the same digit in the corner – and the pair is gone, for 10 points. If you get stuck, ask for a hint (−20 points), shuffle the tiles left (−50) or undo a move: every deal can be cleared to the end. A win adds a time bonus to the points: 900 minus the seconds played.

For seniors, grandparents and the whole family: big, clear tiles, unlimited undo, a hint whenever you want one and no sign-up.
