What is Kyodai Mahjongg?
Kyodai Mahjongg is a tile-matching solitaire game for Windows. The aim is to clear the board by removing matching pairs that are free on their left or right side. It suits players who want the Shanghai-style puzzle rather than a traditional multiplayer mahjong ruleset.
The game includes 2D and 3D views, different layouts and backgrounds, tile highlights, hints, shuffle, restart and undo. A layout editor lets you build your own arrangements, while the included music and sound effects can be adjusted. The full installer linked here includes more music than the publisher's smaller package; both contain the same game.
Cyna Games lists version 21.42, but this is a legacy program: the publisher says there were no further update plans as of 2025. It offers a fully functional one-month shareware trial with registration reminders. Direct sales are no longer available; the registration page describes contacting the developer about an unlock-code trade. Current Windows 10 or 11 compatibility has not been independently verified.
What it offers
- Play Mahjongg Solitaire by removing matching, exposed tile pairs.
- Switch between 2D and 3D boards with multiple layouts and backgrounds.
- Use tile highlights, hints, undo, shuffle and restart.
- Create custom board arrangements with the layout editor.
- Play with an included soundtrack, sound effects and multiple interface languages.
Good to know
- Shareware, not freeware: the publisher describes a one-month trial with reminders and says direct sales are no longer available.
- Legacy DirectX-based release; current Windows 10 and 11 compatibility has not been independently verified, and the publisher states no further update plans as of 2025.
- The publisher reports exit errors for some installations under Program Files (x86) and recommends reinstalling in another folder, such as C:\Games.
