About the Game

Way back in 1987, a Japanese game company called Tamtex made a 2D version of Mahjong Solitaire called "Shisenshou Joshiryou-Hen - Sichuan I". It was first made for arcade cabinets and became popular with people of all ages across the country. Over 30 years later, you can now play Shisensho on Steam.

HOW TO PLAY



The classic game has 144 Mahjong tiles laid out flat in an 18 x 8 rectangle. Match pairs of tiles to clear the board. Tiles can be matched by a single straight line, a line with one bend, or a line with two bends. A tile from the Seasons or Flowers suits can be matched with any other tile of its type.
