Players who match as many jewels as quickly as possible have the best chance of achieving the high score. In the new Android app, users can play with friends via Facebook Connect, or offline to hone their skills for tournament gameplay on Facebook or King.com. The game uses Google Checkout for in-app purchasing.

Mahjong Saga is a fun, social and challenging version of the popular Mahjong game, where users follow the lead of a Sensei Panda through an exciting adventure featuring more than 100 levels.
