Mahjong Snake

How to play Mahjong Snake

Mahjong Snake is the classic snake game rebuilt with mahjong tiles. Steer a snake made of tiles around the board, swallow every tile it meets, and catch the fleeting golden tile for a big bonus.

Reflex arcade

• The snake crawls forward on its own. Steer it with the arrow keys, WASD, or by swiping.
• Swallow the tile in your path to score ten points and grow one tile longer.
• Now and then a golden-framed tile appears. It is worth forty points, but it only stays on the board for six seconds.
• Hitting the wall or your own tail ends the run — and the snake speeds up every three tiles, so late runs are tight.
• Press Space, or the Pause button, whenever you need a breath. Your best score is saved in your browser.
