- If the unit is closed by other unit on top, even for 10% it is also locked;
- If your unit is touched from the up and down with other units you can not pick it neither;
- You can also pick different pictured tiles in pairs. But it has to be one group. Read ‘The Mahjong Western Style‘ article.

This one type of game has a very similar aim: collect tiles in pairs and clean up the gaming field to win or go to the next level.
But beware of some distinctive features:
- The tiles are located in one layer and in a shape of square;
- The tiles are connected with a line, which can has only 2 corners on the way;
- Even though your tiles are a straight line apart, it does not mean they can be connected. If the gaming field is full or half-full the tiles far away won’t be chosen;
- Most likely this type has a time limit. Watch it out.
The way to win is easy but only if you follow the rules correctly.
