Aztec stacks tiles in stepped terraces around a central peak — outer steps free first, the sun-stone center last.
Feels like climbing a ziggurat: wide base, narrow top, many layers at the edges.
How to play Mahjong Aztec
- Mahjong solitaire pair rules on an aztec stepped pyramid.
- Match identical tile faces only — both tiles must show the same symbol.
- Remove all tiles to win.
Strategy tips
- Clear the lowest terrace completely before jumping to mid-level steps — half-cleared terraces block sideways freedom.
- The peak tile is often the last match; do not worry if the center looks stuck late game.
- Step corners free three directions of tiles — prioritize outer corners over inner steps.
- Aztec and Mahjong Pyramid both taper upward; Aztec has more terraces and a wider base.
- Daily Mahjong uses the turtle layout if you want a shared daily tile puzzle instead.
Common questions
Is Aztec harder than the turtle?
Generally yes — more steps mean more blocking layers. Same matching rules throughout.
