Why readability is the real review criterion
Tile games ask you to parse a dense symbol field repeatedly under time pressure. If two suits blur together at phone size, no amount of art direction saves the experience. We tested each title at 360 pixels wide with default settings.
The scoring table
Mahjong Ways 3 led on contrast, a Taipei-developed competitor led on motion restraint, and two titles failed the suit-distinctness test outright. Full per-title notes appear in each individual review.
