Game Description

Leon’s Mahjong is a Mahjong solitaire game built the way games used to be made: a single purchase, no ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking, and no internet connection required.

Every board is hand-designed in pixel-perfect 16-bit art and set against changing seasonal landscapes—from cherry blossoms in spring to a lakeside cabin in autumn and a snowy purple winter night. Behind the nostalgic presentation is a custom solver that guarantees every handcrafted board is completable. You’ll never reach a dead end unless your own choices lead you there. Prefer a different challenge? A fully random mode is just one tap away.

The game grew out of a personal memory: playing Mahjong solitaire with my father on an Amiga 1000 back in the 80s. It’s an attempt to bring that feeling back intact—calm, unhurried, and free from the retention mechanics, advertisements, and paywalls that define so many modern mobile games.

The game is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android. It works completely offline, so you can play anywhere without an internet connection. Every future board pack is included at no additional cost.

Leon’s Mahjong is built according to the principles of User First Software: software that respects the player instead of trying to maximize engagement. Learn more at https://userfirstsoftware.org.
