One of the games is a two-to-four-player game, which according to one myth was developed by Confucius in 500 BC. The other, the subject of this paper, is a single-player game created by Brodie Lockard from 1981 onwards. In 1986, the game gained popularity when it was released by Activision under the trademarked name Shanghai, also programmed by Lockard. From then on, literally hundreds of versions of the game were written, under names such as Mahjong, Mahjong Solitaire, or “the Turtle Game”. Game Rules A Mahjong position initially consists of a pile of 144 stones. The goal of the game is to remove all stones. Mahjong Guide How to play: The goal is to clear the board by removing all the tiles from the layout. Layouts can differ in pattern, size and height. There exist hundreds of different layouts. A pair consists of two tiles which both are a) “free” and b) identical (or of the same type). A tile is “free” when: no other tile is lying above or is partially covering it and no other tile is lying to the left or to the right of it (it can “slide” in one or both these directions.) Two tiles are identical if they look exactly the same (of course…). An exception to this are the Flowers and Seasons tiles.
