May 18, 2010
If you have been stuck trying to decide which mahjong solitaire game in the App Store will give you the most bang for your buck, it's time to stop wracking your brain and give Shanghai Mahjong by MobileAge a try. It's a gorgeous and über customizable version of the game you know and love, and now it's available for only $.99, its lowest price ever.
First off, Shanghai Mahjong is a universal app, which means you won't have to pay for it twice to use it on both your iPhone and iPad. The game features easy to learn touch controls, score tracking, tile tracking, the ability to quickly toggle Windstorm mode on and off, the ability to shuffle the board and receive hints, and a complete set of rules in case you are new to the game. That's all fine and dandy, as other apps offer many of these same features, but it's Shanghai Mahjong's customization options that make it stand above the rest.
For the one time fee of $.99, you get 200 different board layouts, over 40 tileset artwork choices with more on the way, tons of different pre-designed backgrounds, and the ability to import your own photos to create custom backgrounds. All of this is available in both iPhone and iPad versions of the game in high resolution form.
MobileAge is also working on bringing some new features to Shanghai Mahjong, including improved strategic gameplay, score history for layouts, and extensive game stats, which gives you something to look forward to.
If somehow you are still not convinced to give this one a try, MobileAge has a free version of Shanghai Mahjong available that's also universal and doesn't include ads. However, it only includes two of the 200 board layouts and none of the 40 tileset artwork choices.
Shanghai Mahjong is on sale for a limited time, so don't wait to pick this one up for only $.99.
