Gameplay

Like Mahjong Solitaire itself, the object of the game is to remove as many tiles from the board as possible. Two tiles that are on top can be selected and any matching pairs will be removed from the board. The game has two modes: Solitary and Tournament. The Tournament mode has a time limit for an increased difficulty.

Development

Tiles of the Dragon was created as a Mahjong clone to buy id Software more time to continue with their own projects.[3]
