Garden Tales Mahjong

Garden Tales Mahjong is a "Layer-Peeling" puzzle based on "Mahjong Solitaire" rules. The technical core involves "Occlusion Logic"—identifying "Free Tiles" (those with no tile on top and at least one free lateral side). It combines standard tile-matching with a "Garden Theme," creating high-contrast visual sets (Gnomes, Flowers) to test "Pattern Recognition" speeds under a time limit.

You see a 3D stack of tiles. Your objective is to clear the board. Interaction is "Tap-Pair-Match." Select two identical free tiles to remove them. You must strategically peel back the top layers to reveal hidden tiles required for matches elsewhere. The game includes a "Shuffle" mechanic if no moves are possible and "Hint" boosters to highlight obscure pairs.

Solving complex stacks depends on "Vertical-Drilling." Do not clear the flat, easy pairs on the edges. Focus on the "Tallest Stacks" first. You need to expose the bottom-most tiles as quickly as possible to maximize your "Available Moveset." A pro tip is to "Save the Easy Pairs"—keep obvious matches on the side as "Emergency Outs" to use when you need to change the board state or build a combo meter.
