Play Shanghai online. Clear a layered arrangement of mahjong tiles by finding matching pairs. A tile must be uncovered and have an open horizontal side before it can be removed, so an obvious match may be better saved to free a buried piece later.

Shanghai — About this game
Clear a layered arrangement of mahjong tiles by finding matching pairs. A tile must be uncovered and have an open horizontal side before it can be removed, so an obvious match may be better saved to free a buried piece later. The subscreen offers hints and playback of previous moves. Inspect the surrounding stacks before committing, and use the layout name system to return to a particular arrangement for another attempt.
