Mazhobe: Mahjong for Two

Mahjong for two: one board and a live opponent — a friend, a random player or Mazhobe, the grumpy toad. Want some quiet? 3000 levels of solo mahjong solitaire are waiting.

What sets it apart from classic mahjong: tiles aren't matched straight on the board — they go to a four-slot shelf. Two of a kind meet and the pair is gone. Four different ones and you lose.

ONLINE DUELS
• One board for two: whoever collects more pairs wins.
• Timed duel: take turns, with a turn bar.
• Invite friends straight from the leaderboard or tap “Find an opponent” — the game will pick one for you.
• After the match, say GG; duel wins go to their own leaderboard.

DUEL WITH MAZHOBE
No opponent around, or no connection? Play against Mazhobe himself. He sits behind the shelf, eyes your tiles and takes his turn. Three moods: Sleepy, Sly and Reckless. The more reckless Mazhobe is, the more acorns you get for beating him.

DUET
Clear one board together with a shared shelf: two heads are better than one.

HOW TO PLAY
• Tap a free tile and it lands on the shelf. A pair on the shelf collapses and earns acorns.
• There are only four slots, so think one move ahead.
• Tiles are stacked in tiers and overhang each other; from level 15 some lie face down.
• Difficulty from one to five stars. Every deal is verified: it has a solution, and the hint leads exactly to it.

DAILY LEVEL
One level for everyone each day. The ghost of the day's best player plays right beside you — overtake it to earn a bonus.

MECHANICS
• Ice: a tile stays frozen while its neighbours lie next to it — clear them in pairs and it thaws.
• Locks: bronze, silver and gold — each one opens when you collect the pair of keys of its metal.
• Mystery: a tile with a question mark — match it with its twin and the whole board flies apart.

MAZHOBE'S SHOP
