About the Game

Authentic Chinese Mahjong × Roguelike Deckbuilding

Take Balatro's addictive snowball deckbuilding and graft it onto three centuries of mahjong hand-types. 50 spirits, 11 schools, 21 hand-types, 20 bosses, 24 stages + Endless mode. Climb from your first win to Sparrow Master, King, Emperor, all the way to a single-hand 1e15 "Sky-Break".

Real Mahjong · 21 Hand-Types Recognized

Sequence, Triplet, Kong, Pair, Pinfu, Pure Suit, Half Suit, Tanyao, Seven Pairs, Thirteen Orphans (Kokushi), Small/Big Three Dragons, Small/Big Four Winds, All Honors, All Green, Nine Gates, Four Concealed Triplets, Blessing of Earth/Man/Heaven — each hand-type has its own multiplier. Tenpai + win double-activation brings classic mahjong into a roguelike frame.

50 Spirits · 11 Schools · Every Spirit Matters

Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, Thunder, Snow, Moon, Sun, Night, Dragon, God — eleven schools, each with signature spirits that combine into countless builds: honor-flow, kong-flow, tenpai-flow, discard-flow...

No bloat — all 50 spirits are verified by 150M Monte Carlo sims to contribute positively in their matching school. No dead cards. Few but fine. The deeper your build, the harder the snowball — millions in one stage, billions in three, Sky-Break at the climax.

Eight Ranks · Snowball + Sky-Break

Eight ranks from beginner to Sparrow Sage; each rank up strengthens bosses, expands the spirit pool, and steepens the reward curve. Endless mode is uncapped — dealer-repeat + Echo spirits stack the snowball higher: Master(1e6) → Grandmaster(1e8) → King(1e10) → Emperor(1e12) → Immortal(1e14) → Sky-Break(≥1e15). Six title banners + share cards let your build become a legend on social media.

Three Game Modes

• Ranked — 8 ranks of linear progression, boss recipes deepen

• Daily Challenge — same global seed, leaderboard, refreshed daily

• Free Mode — pick your school and spirit pool, an open sandbox

Why This Is The Roguelike Mahjong Deserves

• 150M Monte Carlo calibration — all five balance metrics green, zero dead spirits

• 21 hand-types with 100% real mahjong rule recognition — not "looks like mahjong", it IS mahjong

• 20 bosses with restriction mechanics (ban a school / weaken a hand-type / force discards) — builds must evolve

• 33 Steam achievements + Steam Cloud cross-device saves

• Partial controller support + Steam Deck (Verified applied for during EA)
