Among Mahjong Tiles
Crewmate faces on a classic timed stack, where the tiles differ by colour and a misread costs seconds you cannot spare.
The faces in Among Mahjong Tiles are crewmates rather than bamboo suits, and that changes the difficulty in one specific way: the characters differ mostly by colour, so two tiles a shade apart look interchangeable at speed. Reading colour under pressure is the real test on this board.
Underneath the theme, the taking rule is the old one. A pair is legal when each tile has its left or right side clear, and anything hemmed in on both edges waits its turn. The stack is built tall enough that the first sweep should be about opening edges rather than about scoring. Mahjong Solitaire keeps the layered board and changes the shape.
A countdown sits over the layout and the game asks you to finish quickly once you can, so hesitation between two similar crewmates is expensive twice over. The Hints button surfaces one legal pair and the Shuffles button redeals what is left when the board has locked. The same discipline about buried tiles applies in Sea Monsters Mahjong.
GamesFine drew the stage at 1280 by 960, which is large but densely packed; full screen is the practical fix, since enlarged tiles pull the near-identical crew colours apart. The build accepts taps as well as clicks. The Yummy Food pile uses the matching rule on a differently drawn set.

How to Play
- Pick out two crewmate tiles of exactly the same colour and pattern.
- Confirm that each of them has a free edge on the left or the right and nothing resting above.
- Click the first, then the second, and the pair leaves the stack.
- Clear the board before the countdown ends, and press on quickly once the layout thins.
- Use Hints for a legal pair and Shuffles when nothing on the board can be taken.
Tips & Tricks
- Check the shade twice — the crewmate palette is close, and a near-miss colour is the usual way a run is lost.
- Open edges before you score — early matches are worth more for what they unblock than for the tiles they take.
- Do not dig one corner — spreading the removals keeps legal pairs available across the whole stack.
- Save Shuffles for a dead board — redealing while pairs are still visible costs you a layout you had read.
- Enlarge the stage — full screen is what makes a dense 1280 by 960 board separable by colour.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is on the tiles in Among Mahjong Tiles?
Crewmate characters in the Among Us style, which is why the pairs are told apart by colour rather than by symbol.
Which pairs can be removed in Among Mahjong Tiles?
Only tiles with a free left or right side and nothing stacked on top of them.
Is Among Mahjong Tiles played against a clock?
Yes, the board has to be emptied before time runs out, and the game rewards a fast finish.
Does Among Mahjong Tiles support full screen?
It does, and on a dense 1280 by 960 stage it is the simplest way to keep the crew colours distinguishable.
Are there hints in Among Mahjong Tiles?
Hints and Shuffles buttons both sit beside the board: one shows a legal pair, the other redeals a locked layout.
