The Game:
The game is made relatively easy due to all removable tiles being highlighted. I would have preferred to have been able to toggle off this type of help, like you can with the tutorial (via the options menu), or not have it at all. There is a hint button, but this is locked initially. After completing a few levels this is unlocked. to use the hint it has to turn to gold before use. It takes about 30 seconds to recharge. If there are no more moves left you can use the shuffle button located in the top right hand corner of the arena. Using this adds 30 seconds to your timed level. (I had to reshuffle my fifth level several times before I could complete it).

As you progress through the levels you earn resources, which can be used to rebuild your town. The first level ends with the saw mill being build. Early levels talk you through the games various rules via the tutorial (assuming you've not toggled it off). Overall Age of Mahjong is a pleasant mahjong solitaire game with excellent graphics.

You can return to the location map at any time to redo a level and rebuild or upgrade buildings so long as you've collected adequate resources and completed the level or levels that is presented during the initial building selection screen; some buildings require more than one level to be completed for example the brick factory needs a total of three levels to be unlocked and built There are four resources to collect, three of which i.e. Brick, Gold and Pearls are locked at the start of the game; only the wood resource is available initially. Resources are collected by removing pairs of tiles. Every time you remove a pair an indicator to the left of the main arena increases. When it is full resources are added to the resource counter at the top of the screen

Once the level is completed building can proceed. To complete a level you must expose the two golden tiles then remove them. As you progress bonus such as the back stone are unlocked. This enables you to go back one move. There are two other bonuses available in game. These are unlocked as you progress through the level by unlocking the appropriate building connected with that bonus. Bonuses are collected by clicking on them from the playing arena. Each bonus gives you three turns; you can use up to three bonuses per level. Bonuses are not carried forwards to the next level. Depending on how fast you complete a level you may be awarded a gold or silver medal.

Notes on Security

Notes on Security
I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found 1 hit/s (Zillya) from 58 antimalware engines. Zillya is amongs only several antimalware suites that often tag MyPlayCity Games compared to most better known and more reliable antimalware engines; so, it's very likely to be a false positive.

The downloaded executable 'may' include some low level adware that opens your browser once to MyPlayCity Games home page after the game has installed and also places a few shortcuts onto your desktop; these can be safely deleted once the game has been installed).

The MyPlayCity installation does NOT inject any malware into your system. When your browser is opened to MyPlayCity's home page following the games installation, it earns MyPlayCity games some money, part of which is given to the developer of the game for allowing the game to be given away free. The giveaway version of MyPlayCity games version has had most of the adware disabled.
