Jade Bamboo Tile Duo

Jade Bamboo Tile Duo is a two-player mahjong app for iPhone and iPad, built for one device and two people sitting across from each other. There are no accounts, no opponents to wait for and nothing to connect to — you pass the same screen back and forth and play. It is made for friends, couples, families and anyone who wants a real mahjong duel in a few minutes rather than a long solo session.

Features:

1. The Wall — two players build on one shared 8x8 board, turn by turn. You place mahjong pieces, clear full lines and columns, and every tile of your opponent's that you clear counts for you.

2. Twin Claim — a race of nerve. Three tiles are exposed, both players see the same prize, and the faster claim takes it. Claim at the same instant and it is a clash, and neither of you gets it.

3. Tile Lens — hold any tile to see what it is: its suit, its rank and what it is called. Learn the set while you play instead of before you start.

4. Twin Seats — turn on Facing Seats and the second player's side of the screen rotates to face them, so both players read their own hand the right way up across the table.

5. The Handicap — give a weaker player a head start in points before the first move, so a beginner and a regular can play the same match fairly.

6. History — every finished match, newest first: which table, the final score, who won and when it was played.

7. Stats — what all those matches add up to: matches played, the head-to-head record, best match, best turn, lines cleared and your most played table.

8. Awards — nine things worth doing at the table, from your first finished match to winning a clean Twin Claim without a single clash. Every one is earned by play, never by opening the app.

9. Rules first — each game opens with its own rules, so nobody starts a match guessing.

10. Settings — sound effects, ambient music, haptics, calm motion for reduced animation, and facing seats, all switchable at any time.

How to Play:

1. Open the app and tap PLAY.

2. On the home screen, pick GAME 1 (The Wall) or GAME 2 (Twin Claim), or tap ALL TABLES to see both.

3. Read the rules card that appears, then start the match.

4. In The Wall, the player whose turn it is drags a piece from their tray onto the shared board. Fill a full row or column to clear it and score. Clearing your opponent's tiles pays you a bonus. Play alternates until the wall is swept.

5. In Twin Claim, both players watch the three exposed tiles. When the round opens, the first to claim takes the prize and builds it into a set. Claim together and it is a clash and the prize is lost to both.

6. The match ends when the board or the wall runs out. The final scores are shown, and the match is written to History straight away.

7. Tap the back medallion at any time to leave a table, and the info medallion on the home screen to reach History, Stats and Awards.

Benefits:

• Two players, one device. Nothing to sign up for, no internet needed, no waiting for anyone to join.

• A full match fits into a short sitting, so it works on a break, on a journey or at the end of an evening.

• Two genuinely different games: one slow and tactical, one fast and reactive. The same set of tiles gives you two moods.

• Fair by design. The Handicap lets mismatched players compete properly, and Twin Seats means neither player is reading upside down.

• Beginner friendly. Rules are shown before every match and Tile Lens explains any tile you do not recognise, so nobody has to learn mahjong first.

• Your record is yours. History, Stats and Awards are all built from matches you actually finished, stored on your own device and never sent anywhere.
