Sugar Mahjong
A hundred candy-topped stacking layouts from Agame, played on free-tile rules with no clock running anywhere.
Sugar Mahjong is a stacking game rather than a linking one, which sets it apart from the connect boards around it. The tiles carry boiled sweets, lollipops and wrapped candies, and a piece can be lifted only when nothing rests on top of it and it can slide out to the left or the right without disturbing its neighbours.
Agame stacked a hundred layouts behind that rule and left the clock off entirely. Nothing counts down while you look, which turns the game from a scan into a planning exercise: the question is never whether you can find a pair, it is whether the pair you take leaves the layer beneath it workable. Kris Remastered is two clicks away in the same section.
A hint and a shuffle are both available. The hint shows one legal pair; the shuffle rearranges the pieces still standing when the pile has locked with matches buried under one another. With no timer running, the honest use for a shuffle is a genuine dead end rather than impatience: a locked pile is the only thing that can end a run.
The stage is 800 by 500, and the confectionery art is the reason to take it full screen: two pink lollipops that differ only in the swirl on the wrapper are a coin flip at small size and obvious at large. Touch is supported, though a deep pile asks more of a fingertip than of a pointer.

Mouse on desktop, or tap the tiles on a touchscreen.
How to Play
- Find two tiles carrying the same sweet.
- Check both are free: nothing stacked on top, and a clear slide out to the left or to the right.
- Click one and then the other to take the pair off the pile.
- Keep peeling the upper layers until the layout is bare, then move on to the next of the hundred.
Tips & Tricks
- Bring the top layers down first — every piece you free is a piece that unlocks another one underneath.
- Match the wrappers, not the colour — several of these sweets share a palette and differ only in the pattern.
- Think before clearing a matched four — taking two of four identical sweets can strand the other two under the pile.
- Use the missing clock — read the whole layout before the first click, because nothing is pushing you to hurry.
- Enlarge the 800 by 500 board to full screen — the confectionery detail that separates two lollipops only shows at size.

No. There is no time limit, so a layout can be studied for as long as you like.
When can a tile be removed in Sugar Mahjong?
When nothing sits on top of it and it can slide free to the left or the right without moving another piece.
