Mini Mahjong About
Mini Mahjong adapts a classic connection puzzle to a short browser session. Recognizing identical pictures matters, but the defining task is deciding whether empty space really joins the two positions.
The objective
The aim is to keep removing legal matching pairs and raise the score during a 120-second run. Emptying one board does not finish the result; a fresh layout appears so the remaining time forms one continuous session.
What makes a path legal
A route travels only in four orthogonal directions and cannot cross an occupied cell. Straight paths, one-turn paths, and two-turn paths are accepted, including routes that use the empty border just outside the visible grid.
How stuck layouts continue
After removals, the engine searches the remaining tiles for an available pair. If tiles remain but no legal pair exists, only those remaining tiles are shuffled and the run continues with a playable arrangement.
Session and input design
Tiles are real buttons, so the same board supports touch, mouse, and normal keyboard button activation. Hiding the page pauses the run; returning to it does not resume the countdown until the player chooses Resume.
