There are also special tile families such as seasons, dragons, winds and flowers with some special tiles containing letters that can appear differently from one another in their appearance by their colour and design but can still be paired together which is something to certainly be mindful of when trying to search for the next matching pair of tiles. There are three basic tiles including character, stones and bamboo with each type of basic tile consisting of nine tiles numbered from one through nine in Chinese characters.

The real puzzle element of the gameplay is provided by the traditional rule of only being able to pair matching tiles from the outer edge of any group of tiles. Mahjong has the same traditional core premise as all Mahjong games as the player attempts to pair matching tiles together. There are 70 levels in total with the second level onwards only being unlocked when the previous level has been completed. I have played Mahjong games since the retro days of the Amiga and 3DO all the way through to the multitude of Mahjong games that have most recently arrived on the Vita, so I was naturally very happy to see Mahjong finally arrive on PS4, but can Mahjong on PS4 match up to or perhaps even better the true Mahjong experience set by the games that have went before it? Mahjong is a traditional Chinese puzzle game available for download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4.
