Play Shanghai Pocket (Japan) Online
Slide mahjong tiles into matching pairs, clearing the board one satisfying click at a time—until you hit that moment where every move feels impossible, then suddenly obvious.
Shanghai Pocket for the Game Boy Color, released in Japan in 2000, was developed by SunSoft. It arrived late in the handheld's life, offering a portable take on the classic tile matching game during an era rich with puzzle and strategy titles.
You control a cursor to select and remove pairs of identical mahjong tiles from a layered, pre arranged board. The main objective is to clear the entire layout by matching every tile, with no pieces left unpaired. Key mechanics include scanning for exposed tiles (those free on at least one side), planning several moves ahead to avoid dead ends, and using occasional hint or shuffle features when truly stuck. The pacing is methodical, and the difficulty escalates as deeper layers are revealed, demanding careful observation. It feels like untangling a knot with your eyes and your patience.
