Shanghai Mini — About this game
Shanghai Mini includes Classic layouts, a timed Tournament climb and Dynasty competition against an opponent. Remove matching pairs of free tiles from a layered layout. A tile must be uncovered and accessible from a side, so an obvious pair can be less useful than a move that frees several more tiles. Inspect the upper layers and avoid trapping the last copy of a symbol beneath a stack.
