Valentines Mahjong
Wanted 5 Games dressed its connect frame for Valentine's Day, timer and all.
Valentines Mahjong is Wanted 5 Games running its connect frame with extra servings of love: the tile art is given over to Valentine’s Day motifs, and the board is emptied by joining identical pairs rather than by unstacking a pyramid.
The layout is flat, so nothing is buried and everything visible is theoretically in play. What decides a level is the route: two matching tiles are only a move when a clear lane can reach from one to the other, and every removal reshapes the lanes for the pieces left behind. Take the wrong pair and a perfectly good match on the far side can be sealed off for the rest of the level. Jolly Jong One asks the same question of a taller pile.
A timer runs while you do this, which is what keeps the romantic dressing from turning the board into a stroll. Skill, strategy and a little luck all get a say, and two aids blunt the worst of it: a hint that finds a legal pair, and a shuffle that rearranges what remains when the field has locked. Mahjong Solitaire Rules Explained answers the questions this board raises.
The 840 by 560 canvas suits full screen on a desktop monitor, and the board scales down cleanly for a phone, where a tap selects a tile the way a click does. Working the covered edges first pays in the Hidden Pairs pile as well.
Controls
Mouse, or a tap on a touchscreen.
How to Play
- Open the board and note which Valentine motifs appear more than once.
- Choose two identical tiles with an open lane between them.
- Click one and then the other to clear the pair.
- Prefer pairs that leave the middle of the field open for later moves.
- Clear everything before the timer expires, leaning on hint and shuffle when needed.
Tips & Tricks
- Route before you click — a matching pair with no clear lane between it costs the same time as no pair at all.
- Break the centre open — tiles in the middle of the field block the most routes and are cheapest to remove early.
- Keep duplicates in stock — clearing every copy of one motif at once can leave the rest of the field without easy moves.
- Shuffle is the last resort — hints handle slow boards, but only a shuffle restarts a field with nothing left to join.
- Turn on full screen — the hearts and ribbons differ in small details that are easier to separate on a larger board.
