You buy a mahjong board, there are 3 sizes. The small is 700 coins, the medium is1200 and the large is 1500. The larger the board the more variety in the designs of the mahjong pieces and the more challenging the gameplay. You are shown the layout of the gold then the mahjong pieces cover them. You only have to collect the gold to win the board and the gold is used to construct a building. It took me several boards to construct each building. I'm not an expert mahjong player, and the game is challenging, especially on the larger boards. The music was relaxing and there's no timer. There are specialty buildings that have number mahjong pieces to build them. You are given a number and you find the two pieces that add up to that number. It's a nice game. I enjoyed the gameplay and seeing the buildings go up. If you like mahjong you will enjoy this game. Seriously, try the demo, see for yourself, it's a keeper. Show less

I recommend this game!

I really liked the first game in this series, Mahjong Masters: Temple of the Ten Gods, and that's saying a lot, because there aren't many Mahjong games that excite me. Usually, Mahjong games get old and repetitive, very quickly, it isn't a game of skill, it's a game of chance, and the odds of available matches depend on whatever percentage the game has been set at.

Mahjong Masters in my opinion, is the exception to the rules, because of its features, I felt like it had purpose, that there was a reason I needed to match the tiles, because it allows me to construct something for my Mahjong efforts. There are only two different tile sets to choose from, Simple Traditional Mahjong Tiles, and Themed Mahjong Tiles, which are bright and very colorful, but would've been better as an ancient stone slab type. The theme of this game is to master the different types of architecture, across 5 vast lands. You can choose any of the 5 regions to play, but each region requires you to construct 6 buildings, so you will have to play mahjong several times in each region, until you reach 100% capacity to construct the available building.

There are two different types of Mahjong, Building Construction (traditional Mahjong requiring you to uncover all Gold tiles) and Special Build (you make matches of Numbered Tiles whose sum will equal the number shown, which changes after each match, until all tiles have been removed) I actually liked the Special Build number game, I'm not sure why, but it's different, and seems to require at least a small amount of strategy and thinking.

I really liked the first Mahjong Masters game, because it had an amazing storyline, and you played Mahjong games to collect the necessary amounts of resources to construct the Temple. The features were different in this game, some of which I really didn't dig, especially the horizontal split screen, which not only reduced the size of the layout board, but had the main character (cartoon image at that) walking to and fro constantly which was distracting and annoying.

Another feature I could have done without, was having to "pay" to play, a Small layout cost 700, a Medium size cost 1200, and a Large layout cost 1500 coins (you start out with 5000) As if that wasn't bad enough, you had to pay again, each and every time you needed to use the reshuffle feature, and of course almost every game required me to use this feature at least once, so it's difficult to get ahead! You can earn up to 3 Stars on each level, I'm assuming a star is removed for every Gold tile that isn't removed? Gold tiles just require a single click to remove them, and before the start of each game, only the gold tiles are shown for several seconds before the remaining tiles are added, to help you memorize the general area they are located. You don't need to remove all tiles, just all of the Gold Tiles.

Although I'm not a fan of basic Mahjong games, I was interested enough in this game, to finish the demo, and would probably consider using a PCC to purchase it. However, I will say that the first game, Temple of the Ten Gods, was an amazing mahjong game, that I purchased immediately, and thoroughly enjoyed playing, so be sure to check that game out as well!

Nothing particularly new or interesting with this game.
There were only two tile sets to choose from. One had characters and one was the standard plain tiles.
You collect gold pieces which are the last tiles to turn over. You pay to play, choosing between a small, medium, or large layout. That is your only choice.
I quit and uninstalled after 10 minutes so that is all I have to go on. On ...Show more

I don't recommend this game.
