Summary

Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye builds on the classic Mahjong‑solitaire formula by offering twelve zodiac‑themed layouts plus the traditional Shanghai board, each populated from eight distinct tile sets. The game’s layout editor lets you craft your own patterns, so the puzzle never feels stale. A standout is the Dragon’s Eye mode, a two‑player duel where one player, the Master, tries to stack tiles into a dragon shape while the Slayer alternately removes matching pairs to thwart the construction. Turns alternate, creating a tense tug‑of‑war that feels fresh compared to solo play. Critics noted that while the core mechanics aren’t revolutionary, the added duel and custom layouts give puzzle fans plenty to tinker with, earning the title solid praise among tile‑matching enthusiasts.
