Mahjong Alchemy Game Description

Mahjong Alchemy is another great online Mahjong game that challenges you to solve all five puzzles in a limited time window. The design is satisfactory, but not great. The goal is to remove all tiles from the board by matching the identical ones. Only the ones that are not blocked from the left or the rights side can be removed. The challenge is to clear the board in 15 minutes maximum, so make sure you have enough time ahead because there is no pause button.
Mahjong Alchemy uses five custom made layouts. In order to match tiles simply click on the desired one, then click again on another identical tile. When mouse pointer hovers over a piece, there is a small window on the bottom left corner with a clear image of that tile. After you have finished clearing the level you can advance to the subsequent level by clicking "Deal New Tileset" button on the upper right corner of the game screen. You can always skip the level using the same button, but that's not the point, isn't it. If you have a problem with the "Perspective View", click the "Menu" button on the upper right corner, then select "Front View" and click OK. You can also choose to turn the sound on or off from the same menu. Once you finished the game you can submit your score and compare it with the rest of the players that played Mahjong Alchemy.

The tiles in the first layout in Mahjong Alchemy are aranged in a spiral formation. Each column has different number of pieces, so the best way to beat this level is to focus on the columns that have the most. Always plan atleast one move ahead and don't rush to remove the pair of identical images the moment you spot them, but look for more combinations.
In the second game, the tiles are arranged in a square formation. Two middle columns have the most pieces. The best way to win this game is to try and clear the ones from the center outwards.
Third Mahjong Alchemy set is in a snake formation. All columns have approximately same number of pieces. In this case focus on clearing the tiles in a way that formation looses height and width simultaneously.
In the fourth game the tiles are arranged in two separate square formations. Here we can apply the same tactic as for the second game, focusing on the middle, clearing them from the center outwards.
The fifth and final game even though it looks simple, it is not. The problem in this game is that we have small number of columns with large number of pieces on a single column. As always, focus on the column with the most tiles.
You can always try different tactics, but remember, you have 15 minutes for each game.

We can clearly state that Mahjong Alchemy has unique gameplay, unlike many mahjong solitaire games. It can be tense and challenging, as well as enjoyable . It boosts the cognitive activities of the brain and observation skills. And above all, fun to play.

Enjoy!
