Mahjong is a game that dates back to around two thousand years ago and originated in China. Historians propose that the game was invented somewhere near Shanghai. It is a well-known fact that Mahjong is a game which not only requires strategy, but also patience and a great demand on skills. Until the end of the eighteenth century, the game was only played in China. Later on, the game was adopted by their neighboring country, Japan. Since the game is considered royal, its exact evolution is not known.

By the time the game reached the western world, the Chinese already had different variations of the original version and it was hardly being played by the natives themselves. Mahjong Connect 2 bears some similarities to the original Mahjong game. There are a few differences; Mahjong Connect 2 has its own rules that set it apart from the original version of the game. Nevertheless, this game maintains the individuality of the parent game.

Conventionally, the game used a hundred and forty four pieces created from ivory. Conversely, since the ban of ivory used globally, they were no longer able to use ivory to create the pieces for the game. This meant that wooden tiles could serve as the next best option to ivory. Depending on the quality of the tile, the price will differ.

Mahjong Connect 2 usually consists of a hundred and forty tiles arranged in a certain shape. Basically, the arrangement is in such a manner that fourteen tiles will be arranged horizontally in rows, as well as having ten tiles arranged vertically in rows. Unlike the original game, the Mahjong Connect 2 game features all the tiles found in the complete set. Those tiles include flowers, dragons, and seasons among others. Mahjong Connect 2 has a few limitations of movement imposed on the players, such that a player has to match tiles within a limited number of movements. Take for example if a player wants to do away with a tile that is bordered by two other tiles on each side, they will first have to eliminate the adjoining tile before they get to the intended tile.

If you are going to play Mahjong Connect 2 games on a computer, the game is somewhat different. Usually, you play a game that is timed and in order to win the game, you will have to match all the tiles before your time is up. If you are looking for a game that will help challenge your brain activity, then Mahjong Connect 2 is the game for you.
