Hundreds of hours of peaceful Mahjong. No ads, no tracking, no manipulation. Respects your time, privacy & wallet. Costs less than a coffee. Leon’s Mahjong is a retro pixel-art take on the classic Mahjong solitaire — inspired by a bygone era, and built as a quiet rebellion against today’s mobile game industry. A Timeless Experience • 33 handcrafted boards — each with at least one guaranteed solution. • Available in 7 languages. • No forced retention loops. • No data tracking. • No internet required. • No ads. No popups. No video interruptions. • No in-app purchases — this is not free-to-play. • Priced like apps from 2008. • One-time purchase = iPhone, iPad & Mac. • Family sharing included. • All future DLCs will be free. This isn’t just a tribute to Mahjong — it’s a tribute to my late father, who introduced me to it in the ’80s. Now, my son Leon helped shape it as the game’s smallest (and loudest) stakeholder. Three generations. One love for games. I hope you enjoy playing Leon’s Mahjong as much as I enjoyed building it.

Great so far, needs a little bit more

I’m having a lot of fun with this game, and I really only have two grievances:1. It can be kind of hard to tell which pieces are blocked by other pieces due to a fairly uniform perspective, maybe some darker shadows could improve this, or some accessibility feature to add a slight shade to all blocked pieces.2. A portrait mode would dramatically improve my user experience, I saw the developer was working on this back in December of last year, I hope they’re still working on it!

Thanks a lot for playing Leon’s Mahjong and for taking the time to share your thoughts! Great feedback always helps the game get better.1. Blocked tiles – You’re right, it can sometimes be tricky (I use glasses to play! :) . I had experimented with always shading blocked tiles, but it made the game a bit too easy since all the free tiles popped out instantly. That said, you’re not the first to bring this up, so I’ll consider adding it as an optional setting so players can choose what works best for them.2. Portrait mode – This is definitely on my roadmap. It turned out to be more complex than expected, but it’s already about 50% done. I had to pause it to focus on other updates first, like the new backgrounds in 1.30, the upcoming Android version, and localizations (German and Spanish will come first). But portrait mode is still in progress.Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback. If you have more ideas, the support button in the App Store is the easiest way to reach me directly.All the best,Lucas

Exactly what I was looking for! Other mahjong solitaire apps are too easy, barely requiring an ounce of forethought; just hunt, peck, hunt, peck, ad nauseam. On top of being terribly cute, Leon’s Mahjong offers actual puzzles that you *can* mess up by just mindlessly matching. That it also tells you exactly how many occurrences of a tile type to expect allows extra planning.I am currently recovering from hand surgery with limited options for how to spend my time. This has been a real boon, especially in the morning as I drink my coffee and wait for my meds to kick in. Hats off to the developer! I love the inclusion of an avocado tile :)

Great retro version of Mahjong Solitaire!

Love this so much, reminded me a lot of the version on Microsofts Entertainment Pack from way back on Windows 95/98 which I used to play a ton in my childhood. What this needs is a randomized boards mode, darkening tiles that are not useable and a bit tweaking on the shadows of each tile to make them easier to see apart and determine heights and number of tiles on stacks. Getting those things implemented would make it 10/10 for sure.Also love there's no timer, so much more relaxing this way.

This is a really, really great matching Mahjong game. It might actually be the best I’ve ever played in terms of the overall experience. The tile art is beautiful. The user interface is so well designed. The backgrounds are beautiful. The music tracks sound really nice and don’t get annoying. This reminds me a lot of the early Shanghai games for the PC Engine, Sega Master System, and Sega Genesis. A hidden gem for sure.

Added 3 strange new boards (33 total)! Now available in French and Danish (7 languages total)! More to come!
