Mahjong games are so simple that people think that they are no-brainers. You may think that you can just breeze through the levels at any time that you feel like playing a Mahjong game.

Go ahead and give it a try. However, you’ll find that the state of mind you’re in while playing Mahjong is actually a big factor in determining whether you enjoy your game or not. You’ll be surprised when you realize what the truth really is about that.

First off, while the rules in Mahjong are inherently simple and intuitive, it still takes a lot of skill and patience to run your eyes over the entire board and find identical tiles. You may say it’s easy, but only when you’re in the starting levels of the game.

Some games actually start you off with a few tiles, like Mahjong Mania. However, as you progress further into the game you’re playing, you could find yourself dealing with an increasing number of tiles. You’d have to match all of them in order to clear the levels. In some games, you might even have to deal with all of that with a very limited time frame.

Now, imagine a scenario - you’re in a foul mood, and you decide to pass the time by playing Mahjong. You start off really well, but as the levels become increasingly difficult, you start to get annoyed and you begin to get angry. Do you think you’re going to enjoy the game?

Of course not!

That’s just one reason why you should have a clear and peaceful mind when you decide to play a game of Mahjong. There are plenty of other reasons, all of which you should take into consideration before you decide to sit down and play a game of Mahjong.

Having a clear mind also helps you to think strategies that will help you win each level and score as high as you can. When your mind is clear and is not distracted, it’s easy for you to look at and remember each of the cards that are in front of you. Thus, you can easily find means to trigger a combo and get your score multiplied when your mind is clear.

In other words, analysis of the situation in front of you is smoother when your mind is at peace while playing Mahjong. The opportunities are easy for you to spot, and you make less mistakes that would compel you to use the Undo power up. After all, you’d want to conserve those power-ups as much as possible.

Speaking of power ups, you’d also be able to effectively strategise the use of your power-ups so they can achieve the maximum effect that you’re looking from them!

It’s very important to be able to clear your mind of any clutter when you play Mahjong games. They are very meditative in nature, but Mahjong games cannot work their charm if you are not in the right mental disposition to do so.
