Mahjong Drop is a game where you make melds (combinations) of three tiles to score. The three tiles must be together either horizontally or vertically.

Mahjong Drop uses a standard mahjong tile set, without the honor tiles. There are three suits (bamboo, wheel, and character) and each suit has a value from 1 to 9. There are four tiles for each suit/value combination. Once all tiles are used, a new bag of tiles is generated and shuffled and added to the queue of upcoming tiles.

There are two types of melds in Mahjong Drop.

Chi - Three tiles of the same suit in sequence of value, but the tiles don't have to be in order.
- Example: bamboo 3, bamboo 4, bamboo 5
- Example: wheel 8, wheel 6, wheel 7

Pon - The same three tiles together.
- Example: character 1, character 1, character 1
- Example: bamboo 8, bamboo 8, bamboo 8

These are the configurable options in Mahjong Drop before starting the game
- Columns (default 10) - The number of columns on the game board
- Rows (default 14) - The number of rows on the game board
- Highlight meld matches - If your current piece completes a meld on the board, then the matching pieces will flash
- Colored tiles - Uses shades of red, green and blue to differentiate the three suits. Otherwise, all tiles will be white.
