Mahjong Deluxe is one of the best free digital mahjong apps that you'll find on the Android platform. The Chinese game has been around for generations, but almost everyone who is familiar with it only knows the game in a digital form. There are countless mahjong games for the PC, and you can find many that play directly through a browser. However, this app is a great way to play through a dedicated app on your device that requires no connection to the internet.

As with all versions of mahjong, the goal of the game is to remove every tile from the playing area in matching pairs. The tiles must have the same symbol and be free, which means there can be no tiles on the right or left side directly touching the tile in question. This app gives you the option of shuffling the tiles in the remaining puzzle if you can't find a free matching pair, but this shuffling costs you in the form of time added to your clock. The goal is to clear the board as quickly as possible.

There are 15 backgrounds in this game along with more than 100 layouts for the board. The hint function is a big help as well.
