Mahjong with a twist
Random Factor Mahjong looks promising at first glance but further inspection reveals its not quite what true Mahjong fans might expect.
Random Factor Mahjong is based on the traditional Mahjong format but features an interesting "Puzzles and Levels" system. Random Factor Mahjong also uses a unique random board generator that produces new and interesting boards every time you play. This means that there are literally millions of different layouts and possibilities so you won't get bored in a hurry.
You start the game with a simple 32 tile board and 3 lives. If you complete a board, you move on to a bigger one. If you fail however, the tiles spring-back into place and you lose a life. Easy level features 8 levels with 144 tiles on the final board while Hard level (which is deactivated in this demo) has a mind boggling 172 tile board.
However, the increasing size of the boards makes the game almost unplayable at times and perhaps most importantly, it feels more like a giant solitaire game than an authentic take on the Mahjong game.
Random Factor Mahjong might appeal if you're really desperate for a new twist on the genre but die-hard Mahjong fans may be disappointed.

It used to be a great game but out of nowhere they changed to to only 4 tries. Why would they do that? It was fine the way it was. How profoundly unfriendly and a totally unnecessary limitation. More

Beautiful looking game.
This version looks beautiful! Tile movement is elegant, too; and the music and sound effects enhance this game even more. However, there is ... something ... that is ... just ... not ... right ... about the programming of this game ...????? Isn't it against the rules to hide tiles in a way that does not allow the solitaire player to EVER be able to expose it..? I have encountered a number of times when, even after reshuffling and replaying, I have NOT been able to expose a key tile ..??? Paul ... can you please look into this? I think this is a programming bug ... which confounds the experience of a solitaire game. Thanks in advance! (DroidPro, RazorM, Kindle Fire)
Pros:
Graphics
Tile movement
Sound effects
Music
Cons:
Sometimes it's NOT possible to expose all necessary tiles (programming bug?) More
