How to Play 


Mahjong Age of Alchemy is one of our many Mahjong titles with a fun and varied style for a more relaxed game experience.


When beginning the game, a type of build will be randomly chosen by the game. These can range from The Well, to Twin Peaks, Stone Circle and many more. These are chosen at random so that you can have a brand new experience each time you play.


To play, you solve the puzzle by matching tiles pair by pair. Match two of the same tile to make them disappear and earn points. You have to match all pairs within a 15 minute time limit. You can only match tiles that aren't covered by others, and that have either their left or right side exposed.



Strategically, you should match top tiles, and tiles on larger rows before matching those on easier paths, as this will open the way for more possible matches.



When running out of possible matches, the game will remove some time from the timer, and shuffle the tiles so that matches are possible.


NOTE: A new tileset will be dealt without resetting the timer if there are no more matches left.


Here is how the game looks when you start a match. There's several different options to assist you.



  1. Reset tileset. This lets you restart the game and deal a brand new tileset. Use it if you'd like to have an entirely different board.
  2. Score. Your current score will be displayed here.
  3. Timer. The timer will be displayed here. You will have 15 minutes to finish the board.
  4. Menu. This opens the game's main menu.
  5. Current tile. This section will show you the tile that you currently have selected.

You'll be able to change your settings in the menu, such as turning on/off the Sound, changing the game's Perspective and you'll also see a Help section on how to play the game.


Using the Front View instead of the Perspective View could help you see tiles better. Be sure to try it.



Scoring 


General scoring. Here is how the scoring formula looks:

Total score = All match scores + Time bonus + Win bonus + Awards.

Tile values = ranges from 1 to 7 depending on the level and icon.


Match score = (Tile Value * Amount of Tiles) * (100 [or 110 if hint wasn't used]) / 100.


Time bonus = the number of remaining seconds * 10 points.


Win bonus = 1000 points.
