Hex Mahjong

About this game

Mahjong Solitaire with hex tiles. Combine two of the same free tiles. Free tiles are highlighted.Hex Mahjong is a variation of the classic Mahjong game, but with a twist: instead of the traditional square grid, it uses a hexagonal grid for a unique challenge. The goal remains the same: to clear all the tiles by matching identical pairs, but the hexagonal layout changes the dynamics of the game, requiring new strategies and patterns of thinking. Gameplay Overview: In Hex Mahjong, players are given a grid of hexagonal tiles, each with a Mahjong symbol. The task is to match pairs of identical tiles and remove them from the board. The game continues until all tiles are cleared or no more moves are possible. Key Gameplay Mechanics: Hexagonal Grid: Instead of the classic square-shaped Mahjong grid, Hex Mahjong uses a hexagonal grid. This makes it different from traditional Mahjong, as players must consider the connections between hexagonal tiles when making matches. The layout allows for new ways to connect tiles, creating different challenges and strategies. Matching Pairs: Players must find and match pairs of identical tiles. To be paired, a tile must be free—meaning it has no other tile on top of it and must have at least one open side (either left, right, or diagonal). The game follows the basic rules of Mahjong: if a tile is completely surrounded by other tiles, it cannot be selected for a match. Tile Removal: Once a pair of matching tiles is selected, they are removed from the board. The goal is to keep matching and removing tiles until the entire board is cleared. Tiles are usually decorated with Chinese symbols, characters, or images representing various objects, animals, or elements. Levels and Difficulty: As in most Mahjong games, Hex Mahjong has multiple levels of difficulty. In the easier levels, the tile layouts are simpler, while in harder levels, the boards are larger and more complex. Over time, the number of tiles increases, and the arrangement becomes more challenging. Strategic planning and careful observation of available tiles become more crucial. Hints and Undo: Many versions of Hex Mahjong offer hints to help players when they get stuck, showing potential tile pairs to match. Some versions may also include an undo feature, allowing players to reverse moves if they realize a mistake has been made.
