The board is shown from an overhead perspective as a three-dimensional stack of mahjong tiles. The objective is to clear the entire layout by selecting two matching, currently exposed tiles. Flower and season tiles are treated as matching groups rather than requiring identical artwork.

Play proceeds through a series of tile arrangements. Removing a pair can expose tiles underneath or open a previously blocked edge, so each move affects future choices. A puzzle ends when all tiles are removed or no legal pair remains. The DOS version is primarily a single-player solitaire experience.

Prioritize pairs that uncover the most tiles, especially those on upper layers and in narrow central stacks. Before removing an easy pair, check whether another copy of either tile is blocking a more important route.

Keep multiple possibilities open and avoid reducing the layout to a single forced sequence too early. When several identical pairs are available, choose the pair that creates the greatest number of newly exposed tiles rather than the pair that is quickest to remove.
