Something like this, maybe it is it but i feel like they were just solid colored without symbols. Very maximalist and saturated in color too, probably oriented towards children or game addict adults. Might have been one of those included with Windows default games but I think it was probably a seperately installed thing, also possible but unlikely to be one of those CDroms from a cereal box lmao. No idea

(this is not CozyMahjong)

Currently playing CozyMahjong (they make other Cozy games) but I crave the totally solid mahjong tilez

    you are describing a tile-based game other than mahjong

        I assume they’re referring to the real Mahjong, vs the tile matching game

          Is there a generic terraced tile matching game distinct from mahjong? Good to known if so

          Gotta be terraced

      Theres one that the tiles were almost completely solid colored and I really want to relive that one. It was probably dirt cheapo or free or freemium but I really want something like it haha

      Is the schtick for mahjong usually to balance your plays so its like wear-levelled away rather than unevenly carving?

        My version comes with tiles stacked above one another.

        The best strategy here would be clearing tiles from the upper level first.

        If this is not followed then the player would run out of moves.

        Tiles that are in between a line cannot be moved unless one side is freed and unless the upper layer tile positioning exactly above it is already played.
