About the Game

Build the hands. Break the rules.

Mahjuro is a mahjong roguelite deckbuilder that turns familiar tile hands into unstable scoring engines, with a rule-bending structure inspired by Balatro. Draw tiles, form pairs, sequences, triplets, and kongs, then cash in your growing structure for scores that climb from careful clears to impossible numbers.

Every run pushes you deeper through seven wings of the House. Between chambers, spend your winnings on relics, tile packs, talismans, and zodiacs that twist the rules in your favor. A quiet hand can become a runaway scoring engine if you build it carefully.

Bosses don't play fair. They restrict tiles, twist scoring, and force you to adapt. Break the House's rules before it ends your run.
