Black and White Mahjong 2
Eighty layouts where a pair only counts if one tile is black and the other is white.
Black and White Mahjong 2 keeps the ordinary clearing rules but flips the matching condition: a pair only counts when one tile is black and the other is white. That single change breaks the habit of scanning for two identical faces, and most newcomers lose their first board to it.
A tile can only be lifted when nothing rests on top of it and one side, left or right, stays open. Eighty layouts follow, each with its own silhouette, and the colour rule bites hardest when the black half of a symbol sits buried under the white half. The same discipline about buried tiles applies in Deluxe Plus.
Before a level starts you pick your own pressure: fifteen minutes, seven minutes, or no timer at all. A hint and a shuffle sit within reach for boards that lock up, though leaning on them costs you score. The 2021 build uses HTML5 and works on desktop and mobile alike. The Solitaire board builds the layers into another arrangement.
Full screen is worth switching on here. Black tiles read poorly at small sizes, and the extra pixels make the difference between spotting a legal pair and burning a hint you wanted to keep. A second stacked layout here is Tropical Mahjong.

How to Play
- Scan for one black tile and one white tile carrying the same symbol.
- Check that neither is covered and that each has an open left or right edge.
- Click the pair to lift it away.
- Keep going until the layout is empty.
- Set the level clock to fifteen minutes, seven minutes or off before you begin.
Tips & Tricks
- Strip the top storey first — every tile lifted from an upper layer exposes two more colour options underneath.
- Hoard the hints — your score in Black and White Mahjong 2 drops each time the game finds a pair for you.
- Shuffle only on a dead board — the reshuffle is for a layout with no legal pair, not one you have read badly.
- Respect the seven-minute setting — on the later of the eighty layouts it turns a calm sort into a sprint.
- Play it in full screen — dark tiles on a dark base are hard to separate in a small embedded frame.

How many layouts does Black and White Mahjong 2 have?

I really am glad to have discovered this game site, but I have some constructive criticism. Your boards are not as clear and crisp looking as I prefer, no idea how anybody else feels about that. On the Black and White game, which I am having to play since I cannot have access to the better games I love so much to play, I do wish some many of the tiles did not have those spikes on them – they get in the way. Certainly do not add that much of anything to the over all design, playability. Not at al interested in your version of board for Celtic Mahjong – just not inviting! I hope you might take a player’s viewpoint into consideration.
