Quick Help
Common questions, written around the current feature set
The answers below reflect what the app currently does, focusing on the roguelike deckbuilding mechanics.
How does scoring work?+
Form valid mahjong hands like Pairs, Straights, or Triplets by selecting up to 7 tiles. Each hand type gives base points and a multiplier. This score is further boosted by the chip values on the tiles themselves and any active Talismans you own.
What are Talismans?+
Talismans are permanent passive items you can buy in the shop between rounds using coins. They provide powerful scoring multipliers, extra resources, or change how certain tiles behave, allowing you to build unique synergies.
What happens if I fail a Blind?+
If you run out of plays without reaching the target score, your run ends. You will need to start a new run from Ante 1, but your performance may earn you progress toward permanent unlocks like new Talismans or cosmetic themes.
What are Boss Blinds?+
At the end of every Ante, you will face a Boss Blind. These special rounds introduce negative rules—such as hiding Honor tiles in fog or zeroing out your first hand's score—testing the strength and flexibility of your build.
Will my progress stay if I close the app?+
Yes. The game automatically saves your current run state locally on your device, including your deck, active Talismans, coins, and current Blind progress, so you can resume exactly where you left off.
What should I include when reporting a bug?+
Please include your device model, iOS version, which Ante and Boss rule were active, and what Talismans you had. If a specific hand scored incorrectly, a screenshot of the hand and your Talismans is very helpful.
Progress systems
Stats and unlocks
If something looks wrong with your highest Ante, best single-hand score, win rate, or Talisman unlock progress, mention the exact screen where you noticed the discrepancy.
Customization
Theme or background issue?
The app lets players change both the game background and tile-face theme. If a visual issue appears, include which combination was selected.
Gameplay Mechanics
Unexpected scoring
Scoring math can get complex with multiple Talismans. If a score seems wrong, check if a Boss Blind penalty (like First Hand Zero) was active before reporting.
