Mahjong Christmas 2

Holiday traditions usually start a lot earlier than the actual holiday, because people are always eager to show their anticipation. Hence, Halloween, Easter and Christmas customs are put in motion days or even weeks ahead of their respective dates. Christmas is by far the most anticipated of them all, as well as the most widespread holiday around the world.

Mahjong Christmas 2 is a game that allows you to enjoy your hobby with a winter theme attached to it, in order to help you get in the proper mood for the upcoming holiday. The actual gameplay does not differ too much from regular Mahjong games, since the mechanics are exactly the same, but the tiles are designed with Christmas in mind, which is enough to change your view on the game.

Speaking of which, everyone should probably be familiar with the game of Mahjong until now. If you are not, then you have to know that its rules are quite simple: remove every tile from the neatly organized pile by matching two of each kind. You have to pay attention to whether they are free or not, because only the tiles from the top level can be removed and matched with similar tiles.

To keep you entertained for a long enough period of time, the game comes with a large collection of puzzles included. They are basically just different arrangements of tiles, but some of the more difficult modes include additional tiles and larger designs. This makes it harder to spot any matches, and it also significantly lengthens the amount of time you have to spend on each puzzle.

It is also possible to lose, at least if you are left without valid matches before the golden tiles are eliminated. There are power-ups and special bonuses that allow you to reshuffle the pieces, on the other hand, albeit in a limited quantity. The visual design is about as colorful and cheerful as possible, with the only drawback being the fact that it’s sometimes difficult to tell which tile is above.

Even if Mahjong Christmas 2 is not much of a revolution in the genre, it still has all the right elements to please a Mahjong fan for many hours. Hence, if you do not mind the rather repetitive soundtrack, this could be the game to keep you company throughout the holidays.
