Pressing L and R simultaneously activates auto-zoom which zooms in to a level that displays all free tiles and is probably the setting you will always use. You can zoom in and out using the R and L buttons respectively and when zoomed in the analogue nub moves you view around. The basic controls are using the d-pad to move to a free tile and then using X to select it before moving to and selecting its matching pair. The difficulty increases as you work your way down with the top layers including only around six or eight different tile designs and more being added as you remove layers reducing the number of possible matches. The game’s Endless mode has you working your way down through a never-ending stack of tiles where your progress is measured by how many layers you have completely removed. The story has the character following clues to find and assemble five ancient artefacts across five different ancient and mythical areas of the world and is told via single-page comics between patterns. Story mode has you play through twenty five games with the pattern the tiles are laid out in becoming more difficult with each one.

There are also twenty seven different backgrounds, inspired by the locations from the game’s Story mode. There is a fair amount of variety to be had in this mode with five different sets of tile designs to choose from, ninety nine different patterns the tiles can be arranged in, ranging from traditional patterns like “the turtle” to patterns resembling planes and tanks. Classic mode is standard mahjong solitaire where your aim is simply to clear all the tiles from the board. Mahjongg Artifacts offers three different game modes, Classic, Story and Endless.
