Tiles sit in a honeycomb grid at the top of the board. The wall drops one row every five shots. Your launcher sits below the line at the bottom.
Move the pointer to aim and press to fire. On a phone, touch anywhere on the board and lift your finger. A dashed line shows the path, including the bounce off either wall.
A shot clears only when it completes one of two patterns among the tiles it touches: three identical tiles (same suit and number), or three in a row (same suit, consecutive numbers such as 4-5-6). Winds, dragons and flowers are their own suits and appear as the levels get harder. A Joker stands in for any tile, so it finishes a trio or a run, then blows a hole in the wall.
Any tile no longer hanging from the top row falls off the board and pays double. Cutting a big cluster loose is worth far more than a plain match.
A Joker stands in for any tile, so it finishes a trio or a run you are one short of. When a Joker pops, it detonates and clears the tiles around it.
Clear every tile to take the level. Thirty levels build from three suits and four rows up to six suits and a deep wall, then endless play keeps going after that.
