About Paw Mahjong

In Paw Mahjong you have to match the same animal icons and try to beat all the levels. Select a tile with an animal icon and click again to move it to another tile. If two of the same animals touch each other, you earn points and destroy the adjacent crates. in many levels there are special tiles that allow you to move animals either in a straight line or in a circle.

How to play Paw Mahjong

The rules land within the first few seconds of play. It is a mouse-only game, so there is nothing to memorise on the keyboard — which is also why it feels native on a touchscreen. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
