For those of us who want our Solitaire games to be a it more different than just arranging numbers and suits in alternating order, here's something that should get your casual game craze in check: Mahjong Solitaire for your iPod touch or iPhone, by none other than Apple homebrew developer Eoin. Let's see what this baby's made of, and how she plays.

So, just what IS Mahjong Solitaire? Well, it's Solitaire, although how you play it is quite different. One has to cleverly match one tile to another in order to remove them from the game board, and the tiles to be matched should not be overlapped by another other tile. You can freely move tiles from right to left, however.

Do it correctly, and you'll be able to clear the entire board, which nets you a win. Do it incorrectly and get stuck in a situation where you can't pick up any tiles, that means you've lost. Easy, right? Yeah, we thought so.

Installing this game into your Apple gadget is a piece of cake. Simply download the zipped archive from the links, extract the contents, and then copy them to your portable. Restart the springboard, and there you go.
