Mahjong Mobile - A Japanese Style Mahjong Game for iPhone

Mahjong Mobile is a free iPhone game developed by NUTRACTOR. It offers a Japanese style Mahjong game with a simple and intuitive interface.

In this game, players use the slider located under the screen to select tiles. Tapping the slider allows players to discard tiles. The objective of Mahjong is to complete four melds and one pair. For example, a winning hand could consist of [1, 2, 3][6, 6, 6][6, 7, 8][N, N, N][4, 4].

However, it's important to note that there are certain hand combinations that are not approved, such as Chi, Pon, and Open Kan. It's crucial to pay attention to whether a hand is possible when using 1 and 9 in Chi and Pon. In Japanese Mahjong rules, one or more winning hands are required. Players can achieve a winning hand by paying 1,000 points and using the Reach feature. However, Reach cannot be used when Chi, Pon, and Open Kan are performed. Closed hands have the potential to earn higher points.

Another important aspect to consider is the concept of Lost Hand. This refers to a hand that is waiting to be completed, but cannot be won off someone else's discard because the player has already discarded a winning tile. However, self-draw is still possible even with a Lost Hand. The key strategy is to never allow the other players to Ron (win off a discard). Instead, players should reason the hand from the other party's discard and win.

Mahjong Mobile provides an engaging and challenging Mahjong experience for iPhone users. With its authentic Japanese rules and intuitive gameplay, it's a great choice for Mahjong enthusiasts.
