Shanghai Solitaire Review by
2.5/5

Shanghai Solitaire is a different take on the well-known Mahjong game. This one comes with a minimalistic design that’s somewhere between 2D and 3D. The rules of the game remain the same so there should be no problems in understanding how you play it.

Shanghai Solitaire looks decent with its simplistic design. In front of you there will be the standard 144 tiles ready to be paired, but they don’t look like the traditional ones. They’re still split into bamboo, characters and circles but not in the way you might know them.

The game is played from a top-view angle but moving the mouse around slightly changes the perspective by a few degrees. Holding the right mouse button enables you to tilt the pieces at much greater angles, allowing you to take a peek at what pieces lie under the top ones.

In Shanghai Solitaire, you have click and pair tiles that are identical or that belong to the same category. Once they are selected, they disappear and you win the game when all of them are gone.

Clicking is not hard so anyone can pay it. The only real issue with the game is that the tiles are randomly placed, and there will be plenty of chances when you are left without a solution. You can shuffle the tiles, but even that won’t guarantee a win. However, if things get tough, Shanghai Solitaire has a hinting feature.

To end, Shanghai Solitaire is not spectacular in any way, but it looks nice, and it’s relaxing to play if you’re into Mahjong games.

What's new in Shanghai Solitaire 1.21:

  • Added background pattern rendering
  • Omitted black particles from entering the particle queue
  • Introduction of background music of varying length and a tracking poll driver
  • Removed ability to tilt board to an excessive 60 degree angle
