Mahjong Titans: rules and basics
The object
Remove all the tiles from the board.
The board
Each game begins with 144 tiles, arranged into six different layouts: Turtle, Dragon, Cat, Fortress, Crab, and Spider.
There are three basic tiles: Ball, Bamboo, and Character. Each of these tiles is numbered one through nine.
There are also four special tiles: Winds, Flowers, Dragons, and Seasons. Some of these tiles are marked with a letter.
How to play
To remove a tile, it must be free. That is, it must be capable of coming off the pile without moving other tiles. If you rest your mouse over a tile and it lights up, it means that tile is free. If you attempt to remove a tile that isn't free, Windows will let you know.
In most cases, you must match tiles exactly to remove them. But there are two exceptions: You can pick any two flower or season tiles.
Hints and tips
Ask for a hint. Stuck? Press the H key and Windows will light up the next matching pair. You can also right-click a single tile. If there's a match available, it will flash.
Use Undo. To erase a move, press Ctrl+Z. You can erase as many moves as you like, but you'll be penalized two points each time.
Pick up bonus points. The order in which you remove tiles from the pile can dramatically affect your score. Removing identically matched pairs in a row earns you a bonus (especially if they're the same pattern and number). You also earn extra points for clearing both pairs of flower or season tiles in a row.
