Here, a solitary player removes two match tiles at a time from a stacked arrangement. If you grew up playing Brodie Lockard’s Shanghai or the multitude of clones that illuminated computer and console screen during the eighties and nineties, you might be familiar with solitaire mahjong, which is quite different from the four-player pastime. Beyond representing some of the basic fetishes (pop singer, maid, office lady, tsundere, etc), and offering a bit of voice work for successful tile matches, you’ll have to find out more about the girls on your own, as there’s no biographical data in the title. But Toronto-based Cherry Kiss Games has been publishing much of the source material if you’re eager to learn more about the predominantly buxom roster.
MAHJONG SOLITAIRE BY ART PC
When the original PC game was released five years ago, Western players might not have been familiar with the characters. Seven girls are unlocked from the start, each attractively drawn from eroge artist Ayase Hazuki.

Mostly, motivation is stirred by unlocking portraits of the next sexy maiden, which should sit well for aficionados of manga-style art. Like Bishoujo Battle, there’s not a whole lot of depth. With the release of Delicious! Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire, the publisher delivers another proficient port. Last month, Bishoujo Battle Cyber Panic! arrived on Nintendo’s hybrid, bringing Qix-style gameplay with pin-up style art. Thanks to the efforts of EastAsiaSoft, Zoo’s PC titles seem to be making their way onto Switch. Price: $5.99 via Nintendo eShop and other digital marketplaces. Platform: Switch, PlayStation 4, previously on PC Delicious! Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire
