KrisMas Mahjong 2

Open a fortune cookie after every solved board and that's the hook - you'll want to clear just one more level to see what your holiday fortune says. KrisMas Mahjong 2 sticks to connect-2 rules: click two identical tiles to match them, as long as a line with no more than three 90-degree corners can join them.

Brand new levels and items are in the mix this time around, plus a relax mode with a bigger grid and more repeating tiles if you want the puzzle without the pressure. Fans of Matching games and Link games will feel right at home, and if you know Mahjong Connect you already understand the appeal of tracing that connecting line.

The advent calendar is the part that keeps you coming back daily - a new connect puzzle waits every day, seasonal ornaments and all. It's mahjong dressed up for winter, right down to the fortune-telling payoff at the end of each board.

Clear the entire board before the timer runs out. Click two identical tiles to match and remove them - but they only connect if a line between them can be drawn with a maximum of three 90-degree corners.

Choose classic mahjong for the standard challenge, or switch to relax mode for a larger grid with more repeating tiles and a gentler pace. Check the advent calendar daily for a new connect puzzle, and open the fortune cookie after each win for your holiday fortune.

Tip: scan the edges and corners of the board first - tiles with fewer possible connecting paths are often easier to clear early before the layout gets crowded.
