Mahjong Fishing Combats

Mahjong Fishing Combats is a mahjong game for two sides rather than one. Instead of clearing a board alone, you take turns with an opponent, and on each turn you take a pair of matching fish tiles from the board. The tiles have amounts of money written on them, and the pair you take adds that amount to your earnings. The contest, which the game calls a combat, goes to whoever earns more.

The developer says there are three modes but does not name or describe them. Nor does it say who the opponent is, or explain when a tile becomes available to take, so those questions stay open here. You play with a mouse or touchpad in a landscape frame. If you want those details spelled out, the Egypt-themed battle game named below describes its modes in full.

Wait for your turn. Using a mouse or touchpad, pick two matching fish tiles to take them as a pair. The money written on the tiles is added to your total. Your opponent then takes a turn of their own, and play goes back and forth. To win the combat, you need to have earned more money than your opponent.

The money values are the thing to read. When more than one pair is available on your turn, compare the amounts written on them and take the one worth more. Remember that whatever you leave behind is there for your opponent to take on their next turn.

A turn-based mahjong duel with fish-themed tiles, in a landscape frame. Each pair is worth the money written on it, and the higher earner wins. The developer mentions three modes and lists a mouse or touchpad for input.

Mahjong Battles Egypt runs the same kind of money duel and names its modes: single duel, hot seat and campaign. Mahjong Dogs is a solo alternative, with a timer and a bonus for unused hints.
