Shanghai Dynasty Overview
Shanghai Dynasty was a tile matching game from the Flash era. It belonged to a familiar genre of puzzle games that were common on web portals. The game presented a clean, simple interface that loaded quickly in a browser.
You control a cursor to select matching pairs of mahjong tiles from a layered layout. The goal is to clear the entire board by removing all tiles. You search for two identical tiles that are free on at least one side. Each match removes the pair, gradually revealing the tiles beneath. The game starts at a relaxed pace, but the difficulty increases as the board opens up and your options become more limited. It feels like a quiet, methodical exercise in pattern recognition.
