History

Matching tiles vanish in pairs in Shanghai. Activision published Brodie Lockard's mahjong solitaire in 1986, and a stacked dragon of tiles has to be cleared by removing free pairs before a buried tile can move.

The layout, not a timer alone, is the opponent. Seasons, dots, and honors only leave if both copies are exposed, so a greedy first match can seal a tile the player needed at the end.

Lockard's computer version turned a table game into a solitaire of height and access. Later ports kept the dragon and the rule that a covered tile is not yet a move.
