About Shisen-sho
Old-school mahjong solitaire has plenty of variations, and Shisen-sho is one of the calmest. The board is full of tiles, and your task is to clear all of them by removing matching pairs, one pair at a time.
A pair only comes off if you can draw a path between the two tiles using no more than three straight lines, so empty space around the tiles matters as much as the pictures on them. If you get stuck, the Hint button highlights a pair you can remove, and Undo takes back your last move. Slow, careful play usually beats rushing, since a hasty removal can block a route you needed later.
