About Mahjong Relay: Garden Solitaire
Mahjong Relay: Garden Solitaire sets two gardens across a shared table of nine columns, where ceramic tiles cycle through a conveyor and players race to complete all nine lines before a rival does. The pace is unhurried — no timer runs, no harsh penalty interrupts — and quiet music accompanies each match. When a new match begins, a fresh rival name and portrait appear across the table.
The Golden Tile sits at the heart of the turn structure. While it stays inside a column's conveyor, matching tiles advance calmly down that line. The moment another tile pushes Gold out at the bottom, control crosses the table to the rival. Several scenes show garden settings framing the tile columns, and in one view the columns are arranged against a lush green backdrop.
How to Play Mahjong Relay: Garden Solitaire — Complete Nine Columns Before Your Rival
Each turn, tap a valid column to place the current tile at its top. When a motif appears for the first time, it may claim any open column; after that, every tile sharing that motif returns to the same line. Placing a tile pushes the entire column downward, and the tile that exits at the bottom becomes the next move — and may pass to the rival.
The Golden Tile works differently: while holding it, choose any unfinished column. It stays inside the conveyor until another tile pushes it out at the bottom, at which point the turn crosses to the other garden. Even while the rival is moving, drag your own columns into a new order to prepare for upcoming tiles. Complete all nine columns first to win the match.
