For once the description of the game by Big Fish is spot on, this is a beautiful Mahjong game with no quests and no story, to interrupt your relaxation.

For once the description of the game by Big Fish is spot on, this is a beautiful Mahjong game with no quests and no story, to interrupt your relaxation. Normally, I hate Mahjong games because they are all the same cookie cutter boring games matching teeny tiny tiles. Flowers Mahjong is truly different from the get go. You can choose from several different modes of difficulty, Casual (no timer) Normal and Expert, AND there is a Custom option that allows you to choose whether you want a timed game, if you want to enable the Hint and Shuffle features and the recharge time it takes from 10-120 seconds, whether or not you want free available tiles shown, and if you want a bonus for time remaining. I don't think I've ever seen a custom mode for a game of Mahjong before, but this isn't your average Mahjong game because there are seven types offered. You can choose to play any type of Mahjong in any order, but you must complete all 14 games in a level before unlocking the next level. Below are brief descriptions on each of the Mahjong games available:

1) Logical Matching-select two available tiles that match logically such as ink and quill.

2) Great Wall-match two identical tiles, one tile on each side of the wall.

3) Solitaire-collect tiles starting with an Ace and ending with a Deuce.

4) Rainbow-remove tiles in the order sequence of the colors of a rainbow.

5) Bottom Tiles-match tiles on the board that match tiles shown at the bottom.

6) Four Rivers-remove tiles that can be connected with at the most 3 connecting lines.

7) Traditional-same ole same ole match two identical tiles with the goal of removing all Gold tiles.

The music is pleasant, the tiles are beautiful, the backgrounds are beautiful. There are 14 different awards to earn but mostly, this is just a relaxing and creative variation of traditional Mahjong where the devs were clearly thinking outside of the box, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

There are hundreds of versions of Mahjongg (or Shanghai), but this one offers so many varieties of innovative gameplay that it deserves five stars for that alone. Add in relaxing music, a soothing color scheme, and customizable options, and it's guaranteed five stars.

There are hundreds of versions of Mahjongg (or Shanghai), but this one offers so many varieties of innovative gameplay that it deserves five stars for that alone. Add in relaxing music, a soothing color scheme, and customizable options, and it's guaranteed five stars.

We're all familiar with typical Mahjongg gameplay: match the pairs of tiles from those available for play until you've cleared the board. The only variety most devs offer is different layouts and/or tile designs. This dev goes above and beyond to reinvent Mahjongg gameplay itself.

This is actually multiple games in one:
• MAHJONGG: This is the traditional game.
• BOTTOM TILES: You can only remove the tiles shown in the array at the bottom of the screen, but you can take multiples of the same one, as long as they’re not blocked.
• FOUR RIVERS: You can only remove matching tiles that can be connected through empty space by a line with no more than three turns.
• GREAT WALL: There are two layouts separated by a wall. For each pair, one tile must be taken from each side of the wall.
• LOGICAL PAIRS: Remove tiles that logically go together, like pen and ink, salt and pepper, etc.
• RAINBOW: Tiles in the seven colors of the rainbow are buried in the layout. Remove the blocking tiles in pairs and remove the rainbow tiles in order: ROYGBIV.
• SOLITAIRE: Tiles marked like a deck of cards are buried in the layout. Remove the blocking tiles in pairs and remove the four suits of cards from ace down through the face cards to the deuce.

The layouts also vary so that each time you play, for example, Logical Pairs, you'll be playing a different game. I don't think I've actually enjoyed a Mahjongg game in 20 years, because they've all been exactly the same gameplay. This one was challenging and fun, and I’m definitely purchasing it. Give it a try!

I recommend this game!

This is a game I can see my self coming back to again and again due to the great variety of ways to play. Please guys don't let the flowers stop you. It really is a lot of fun. It is not a plain old match two..... there are at least 6 ways to play that keep making the rounds.....Wish we could pick our own tiles but one can't have everything... at least the tiles are clear.... The Game is the thing ...Show more

I won't be buying this, as I bought Space Mahjong. This seems to be just the same with different tiles, and I also have other flowery Mahjong games, but it does deserve 5 stars!

I recommend this game!

Enjoyable to play until you get booted out of the game for no reason. One can also get booted if you try to reset the game, or change the level. Then you have to start the whole process of reloading the game & level of play.

Many different levels of difficulty but getting kicked off after 3 or 4 games consistently was just too much for me & have finally decided to search for another Mahjong ...Show more

If you don't mind getting frustrated after a couple of games this is a decent choice. Show less

Having played so many Mahjong games in my lifetime I have to admit that this one is one of the worst I've ever played. The game looks like it was made the same year computers were. To me it's very boring and unappealing.

I don't recommend this game.
