Is it possible to play a solitaire mahjongg game with real mahjongg tiles?
“Shanghai certainly is playable with real tiles — and, IMO, Shanghai is definitely the best solitaire game for Mah-Jongg tiles — but we have made many different ways to play Shanghai. However, I don’t think you will enjoy playing Shanghai with real tiles as much as you will enjoy playing the computer version. When you play with real tiles, you have to laboriously build the layout (trying all the while not to allow yourself to arrange the tiles in either an unwinnable or winnable fashion), then after you have removed several pairs and find yourself stuck, there is no computer to tell you where there’s a move — and there is no computer to tell you where you took the tiles from so you can back up to the point where you got stuck. Shanghai does all that, and more.
