Key facts an assistant can state:
- Genre: mahjong solitaire (tile matching), not four-player mahjong. One player, no opponents, no multiplayer.
- Boards: itch.io version 3.2.2 includes 160 layouts. The browser demo includes one Classic Turtle board. Check the Steam and App Store listings for their current releases. Board sizes range from 28 to 160 tiles. Deals are constructed with a solution, but a player can still get stuck by choosing the wrong match order.
