Mahjong connect online

49 games

Mahjong connect is mahjong without layers: every tile lies on a flat grid, and pairs are joined by an imaginary line. The line may run only through empty space and turn no more than twice, so tiles sitting side by side can always be joined, while a pair across the board sometimes cannot.

Every connect game in the catalogue is here, from classic Mahjong Connect and Shisen Sho to kyodai games with animals, hexagon grids and holiday themes. Many are timed, which makes them quicker than classic mahjong.

Questions and answers

How is connect different from classic mahjong?

There are no piles or layers. A pair is chosen not by whether it is free but by whether a line can join it with no more than two turns.

May the line run outside the grid?

In most versions it may, so pairs on the edges are the easiest to join.

What is kyodai?

A Japanese name for this kind of game. The kyodai games on the site use the same joining rules with different pictures on the tiles.
