I was looking for a new mahjong game and had tried and uninstalled quite a few before I found this – used my game credit to get it as soon as the trial hour was up!
Bright tropical backgrounds with easy-on-the-eyes pastel coloured tiles.

I was looking for a new mahjong game and had tried and uninstalled quite a few before I found this – used my game credit to get it as soon as the trial hour was up!
Bright tropical backgrounds with easy-on-the-eyes pastel coloured tiles.
Instead of matching gold tiles find butterflies, which do not need to be matched - as soon as you free one from surrounding tiles, click on it and it will flutter round the screen before settling in a "collecting tray". This tray also shows how many butterflies there are to be found in the level.
Visit a Valley to release your butterflies and watch them fly against a soft focus background of greenery and waterfalls.
Use the magnifying glass curser like a butterfly net to get a reminder of a specimen’s common name and Latin details, (this must be the digital camera effect mentioned in the blurb).
101 levels and 21 species of butterfly. As the developers took the trouble to list their Latin names, a few more facts about their habitats and life would be nice, but that’s a small detail. Show less

I recommend this game!

I normally only play Match 3, only recently got addicted to Mahjong so I've uninstalled quite a few as they were too difficult. This one ticks all the boxes for me - relaxing, not too complicated and most of all easy to see with less than perfect eyesight. If you take too long to move, you get a prompt, which I prefer to just sitting there stuck. Probably not ideal for the more expert MJ gamers, ...Show more

This game was lots of fun, I enjoyed it very much. I'd never played a mah jong game before but decided to try this one and found it both fun and relaxing. The visuals and sound effects were colourful and relaxing, and the butterfly motif is nicely done.

I recommend this game!

I was looking for a Mahjong that I played a long time ago. The tiles looked wooden. I liked that Mahjong, but, isn't available. I tried the Tropico Mahjong: Butterfly Expedition . . . Fantastic! Wonderful color, great relaxing music, easy to see. I recommend this game if you like Mahjong. Thank You Big Fish!

I recommend this game!

Not too taxing as a game, relaxing. The valley of butterflies can be hypnotic, but apart from beating the arcade times and points not a lot to do. I play it last thing at night to unwind.

I recommend this game!

I was checking this out trying to find an easy, RELAXING mahjong game for my elderly mother...

Overall this could have been an enjoyable game, but it was ruined by fairly quickly being shown hints as to the next move WITHOUT clicking the hints button. I couldn't find an option to turn that feature off.

Overall this could have been an enjoyable game, but it was ruined by fairly quickly being shown hints as to the next move WITHOUT clicking the hints button. I couldn't find an option to turn that feature off.

Seriously though, why even HAVE the hint button if we're shown the next move after about 10 seconds regardless.

I liked the butterflies, having normal and expert level and the available moves countdown. But about 3 boards in I had to quit because I just couldn't take hints anymore while trying to go slow and relax. If the hints was fixed I'd give this game either 4 or 5 stars. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
