After playing the game for a couple days since launch, Mahjong Soul is not like any mahjong game where players simply drone through levels matching tiles. Mahjong Soul is an authentic Japanese Mahjong game that features famous Japanese voice actresses, easy and interactive gameplay, as well as a customizable game experience where players can select different music tracks, effects, and visual styles. With an in-game Friendly Match system, players can join or invite their friends to play together as well as play against CPU opponents. The game also offers a comprehensive tutorial that will guide new players to play mahjong and complete a match. The game has already launched on the web as of April 25th, with mobile versions on iOS and Android slated for release in the future.

 

To start playing, players can use their Google, Facebook or Twitter account to directly log in to the game. For those who don’t prefer to use their social accounts, they can use their email address and receive a verification code to create a Yostar account for the game. After players finish naming his/her account, one of two default characters will pop up and proceed to teach players how to easily complete and win a match.

Mahjong Soul has the same tile count as other mahjong games. There are 34 type of tiles, and each type of tile comes in a multiple of four. All tiles fall under one of five groups, being: Man, Pin, Sou, Wind, and Dragon. Each player will start with 13 tiles in their hand. For every player’s turn, he/she will draw a tile from the wall or claim a discarded tile from another player. Claiming a discarded time from another player will temporarily give this player 14 tiles in his/her hand. If the player has a winning hand of four groups and one pair (four sequences/triplets plus one pair) and the player has a valid yaku, then he/she can declare a winning hand.
