Valentines Day Mahjong
A 2016 Valentine-themed tile board where a piece only lifts if two of its adjacent sides are open, and the clock never stops.
Valentines Day Mahjong is a 2016 board dressed for the holiday: hearts, roses and the rest of the Valentine iconography sit where the traditional suits usually are, and the puzzle underneath is the classic pair-matching one.
Its selection rule is stricter than most tile boards. A piece is only playable when at least two adjacent sides are open, so the shape of the layout matters as much as what is printed on the faces. Corners free up quickly; pieces walled in on three sides stay untouchable until the pile around them thins. Birds lays the same tiles out in another silhouette.
The board is timed, and the timer is the whole tension of a round — every heart cleared buys room, every second spent scanning a locked cluster costs you. Hints will show you a legal pair and a shuffle will rearrange what is left, both worth holding until the layout genuinely stops offering moves. Next to it in the same group is the Dimensions board.
The romantic styling is the draw, but the reason to set the full screen toggle before starting is practical: the tile faces use a lot of pink on pink, and at monitor size they separate. Touch input works too, so the same board clears on a tablet. Working the covered edges first pays in Heritage Mahjong Classic as well.

How to Play
- Find two tiles showing the same Valentine motif.
- Check the geometry — each one needs at least two adjacent sides clear before it can be selected.
- Click the pair to lift both off the board.
- Empty the whole layout before the timer expires.
- Use a hint when you are stuck and a shuffle when the pile has locked.
Tips & Tricks
- Open the corners early — a piece with two adjacent sides free is the only kind you can play.
- Clear the top layers first — every piece removed from above turns a buried heart into a legal one.
- Read the pinks carefully — several Valentine motifs share a palette, and a misclick costs time you cannot get back.
- Ration the hints — spending them on an open board leaves you nothing for the endgame.
- Play it enlarged — full screen is the difference between guessing at a rose and seeing it.
