SillyTale MahJong HD – Card Game Review
SillyTale MahJong HD is a Card/Board game from Petr Mizerov, first launched in 14th October 2011.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 318+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes SillyTale MahJong HD Stand Out
Start your new adventure, solving puzzles with gradually increasing complexity. On your way you expect the mysterious pyramids and altars. At the end of the path awaits the Temple with an increased level of difficulty. But to get to it, you'll need to overcome guarding the Pyramid, you will require persistence and patience. Good luck in your adventures, you'll need it!
The objective of this game is to try to reproduce the maximum complexity of the real solitaire originally created by Brodie Lockard. Only in this way the real winners may get to the top of the best.
However, the game has a more gentle mode: a hint with timeout and shuffle to help players don't get stuck in the game. A elegant graphics and music with traditional Chinese motifs can help to dissolve in the game, calmly and confidently move forward to solve the next puzzle.
The objective of the game SillyTale Mahjong, is to eliminate all pieces from the board. Find matching pairs of images at the left and right ends of the lines at the various pyramid levels.
After playing few games you, the player, will start developing a technique to play better games and eliminate more pieces from the board. The elimination of some pieces will open more possibilities than others; it is part of the fun to develop the skill to "clean" the board game.
This MahJong game will tell you when no more moves are possible; this means not always is possible to eliminate all pieces from the board.

Community Insight:
We love Mahjong and it is our favorite game to play. But this particular one is the Best of the BEST. We love this game, this APP! We love it. We have a lot of other games on IPad but we play this one far more than the rest. We love the music in the background and it is very calming and relaxing. Especially at night before we go to bed and am playing this game, music is so relaxing. We find ourselves when playing this game that; we keep saying, ok… One more game, one more game. It is hard to quit playing it. If you like Mahjong, you will love this one. Absolutely the best one. Thanks.
We absolutely LOVE this game!! We enjoy games that challenge us, and this one definitely does that. The reason we only gave 3 stars is because, like a lot of other games, once you get to a certain level, it becomes LITERALLY impossible…we have been playing the Pyramid level off and on for LITERALLY 4 years….since we had our second child…and we cant tell you how many times that level gives us the restart/shuffle option after 1 move…we would say without exaggeration, that for every 20 times we play the level, 10 will result in a restart/shuffle after the 1st move, 6 after the 2nd, and the rest within 5 moves or less. When it gets to that point, the enjoyment goes away. There have been a handful of times (like maybe 4 or 5) that we have gotten to 10 tiles or less after the 2nd shuffle and it stacks the numbers on top of each other so you just cant win. We think it would be so so much better if there were another shuffle or 2 added for the last few levels. We want to beat this level SO bad, and we dont think it will ever happen…and when we get to that point, we start deleting stuff…and we dont want to delete this game, because like we said, we enjoy it a lot. And we understand that it has to get harder and harder, but there has to be some point where its not LITERALLY impossible. Thats just our 2 cents.
We love the game and all mahjong games which we cannot get on our IPAD. Getting back to this game we love it BUT we CANNOT SEEM TO GET PAST THE THREE ONE. DONT KNOW THE NAME we SHOULD but it's the first of (VERY HARD) . We KNOW THAT BUT 108 times we played it an we n helpDEc 6th The game is coming p then loosing it. We have emailed and they told us to restart, which we did, worked for awhile, now doing the same thing and like we said Before still couldn't get past the one VERY HARD. Can't think of name because we can't play anymore. Can you look into this? Also we used to play a lot of Maghong games that we cannot find anymore Japanese, Dimensions etc.
Love it. Recommend it to others. Never had any trouble. Have had it for a long while did play continuously. Still play occasionally.
We've tried quite a few different mahjong games, this one has a great screen view, tiles are legible, not a zillion adds. Could not ask for more from a free app.
Game works great. You get one reshuffle if you need it. If you want more, you can pay to upgrade and get them. Us, we're happy with the one. Not every game should be winnable.
You MUST play all games timed! And you MUST listen to the horrible, horrible music accompaniment! You cannot listen to your own. It cuts it off.
Even though we appreciate the challenging aspect of this game, we're very disappointed with it because there aren't enough shuffles available to actually play the game successfully.
We love all this reviews are fives. Someone is lying. The board is muddy. Meaning the writing runs together. We like a challenge, but this isn't a challenge, the colors and writings so similar it's hard to play.
We purchased in app unlock all did not work, itunes support refused to refund.
Well so we have to pay to get the tiles to shuffle? That is rude.
The in-app purchases include THE ABILITY TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE. Otherwise, the app won't reshuffle enough for you to be able to play the game. Will just delete.
We wish the hint button would help us! Good game, takes perseverance.
We love these Mah Jong games as we think they keep our 70 plus year old brain alive! This one is especially good and doesn't moo and baaaaw at us when we match well. It is well done, but we are not too certain about the rules as we never can get a hint.
Extreme level-game ended when we had 2 moves left and 4 tiles. It said no more moves! We had finally won this level! It had previously had moves when It would say there were no more moves. Frustrating! Won't play any more because 1. We can't advance to on other level till we win this one. 2. Can't win this level until bug is fixed.
This is a beautiful game but you need to let the player the option if you want to use the shuffles or not.It is so aggravating to play and the shuffles happens so fast that you don't have the chance to undo the last move or nothing. Difficult to make a high score and the sad part that you paid for that and is confusing.Please make a note for this is a game that can be improved. Thanks.
It would be nice to be able to get through a level without trying 15 or more times.
We like you can set the game aside & resme whenever you want! Most of the time we will have a fresh set of eyes! Our go to game while we are bored.
Very challenging. Good brain exercise. Need new layout designs.
We play this nearly every day! Its free, ever changing and enough different games to keep us happy.
This is a fun game. We would like to see one improvement. It would be nice to see the high score displayed for each layout, because some of the layouts are more difficult than others, and the same scores cannot be achieved.
What new music? There is none since updating.
Must have done an update. App used to remember the exact game, now it doesnt, so if we want a different game, we have to track it. Boo.
Ah yes!..very good & can be quite challenging.
This game is super challenging. Calming music to balance out frustration. Also the tiles are large and crisp so that they can be easily identified.
Easy to move through levels, no hang ups, best of the group.
This is one of the best Mahjong games out there! Great graphics, beautiful music, fun (and frustrating LOL) layouts…no highlighted tiles – as it should be! Fantastic app.
This game is addictive and we love the duel part Challenges against other players.
We are addicted to this game! We have mattered only one puzzle shape, but will keep trying.
This is, by far, the best time passing game on the iPad.
Love this game. We love the different layouts and how you progress through them. We wish It would allow the player to decide how long the fireworks last before starting the next game options. We also wish you could more hints, sometimes you can get a hint other times none available. All in all, not to many complaints.
It is great game for your brain & is fun.
Fun. Surprise at the end. Enjoyable.
Have tried lots of the mah jong apps. This is our favorite.
Enjoy all puzzles we have completed. Challenging.
Music is so charming…levels are interesting.
This a great game with a lot of variety and challenges.
Love this game! Just tackled all the layouts…wish there was a second version! The last few layouts are challenging, but so much fun to do. Best mahjong game :).
Need better ways to increase scoring.
We love this game but we can't seem to get past level 5. Also if there are no ore moves we shouldn't have to shuffle it should just do it.
Having major issues with some advanced games. Tiles that should be available (1 side open, different levels) seem to not work. Pretty frustrating. Just us.
Very relaxing tune with play, but becomes somewhat 'tedious' after too many replays! Game play is some times relaxing, but as the layouts progress, you begin to wonder if as they each indicate, can you prevail at all against those marked as EXTREME!! So you think, "ONCE MORE RODE THE 500, THRU THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF SUDDEN DEATH!".
Luv the game. But, we're sorry, shouldn't have to lose points when the game screen comes up to shuffle tiles when there are no more moves. You even lose points when you use the hint button. There is no undo button. And there is no way u can only use 2 shuffles. You have to purchase more shuffles. Fix that and we will give 5 stars.
You shouldn't lose points when you play the game! It stinks.
Absolutely amazing ! We like the ability to choose the degree of difficulty. We have played the hard setting several times. We love it ! Best of the lot.
Very nice n challenging game. Very addictive. Nice clear color.
Love the game; however the banner is very distracting.
This is our favorite MahJong so far. Challenging.
Good graphics, tiles are marked with numbers etc. So ID is easy and quick.
SillyTale MahJong is the coolest Mahjong game we've played yet! Not only is it great because its a free app, but the game is easy to play with the touch pad of an iPad, the graphics are crisp and clear, and the music is soothing. We would highly recommend this game to anybody looking for an easy, fun game.
