I've owned this game for many months along with their Valentine Cube Mahjong, as well. It is one of the very FEW APPS that I will allow to stay resided on both my Kindle Fire and, my Samsung Galaxy!
Instead of using your typical layout of "tiles" that the Mahjong game uses for their puzzle layouts; 3-D styled cubes are used instead. This gives a nice twist to the games appearance but not how it's played.
The game rules on how to play pretty much remained the same: BUT...instead of matching 2 tiles of the same.. you need to match 3 MATCHING cubes.. When you match 3 of the cubes, they will be removed from the layout. You can remove cubes from just about any area unlike the original Mahjong where one must have a side or top & bottom free. You may also take 2 matching cubes from the board & your third matching cube from the sidewall to make a match.
One of my favorite features is how you can move the entire layout around at any angle to get a better view of the cubes & remove any of those cubes you might not have been able to see from the original angle.
In order to move the entire layout to view different angles just tap & hold anywhere on the board & move in any direction of your choice. Release your finger or stylus to where ever you want to remove your cubes.
The graphics & colors for this game are very well done with bright, colorful & cheerfuI pictures. I really enjoy playing this game for a little "pick-me-up".
This really is a beautiful Mahjong game! With gorgeous graphics; it's fun & safe game with zero permissions, no IAP purchasing & no data mining software such as Open Feint to worry about. For. 99˘, it is well worth the price!

Not really Mahjong - this is a solitaire type match three game that is very fun and requires no excessive permissions or IAP

A lot of people think that Mahjong is a single player solitaire type game. This is actually not so; but without going into too much history, I will just suggest that those interested should google "mahjong" and "mahjong solitaire". With that little rant out of the way, I have to say that I really like this match three game.
There are three boards viewable on your screen. The mainboard features a fully rotatable 3D tileset, and the sideboards contain up to five randomly generated 2D tiles (from a pool of existing mainboard tiles).
The mission of the game is simple. You are to match three tiles from anywhere on your screen, with the main objective being clearing all the 3D tiles from the mainboard. Every time you match three, they disappear. There is a catch - every few seconds (depending on difficulty) you get an extra tile added to your sideboards, and when they fill up (by being stuffed with ten tiles), you lose the game.
So you must quickly match three tiles on your 3D mainboard, while not neglecting to take at least one from your sideboards. Or you could even let the sideboards fill up and match three there exclusively, making them disappear and buying yourself more time. Any combination of three similar tiles from anywhere on your screen will work.
The later levels (with anything except easy difficulty) tend to get really hectic and fast paced.
All in all this is a pretty great game, and even though I got it for my wife, I find myself playing it quite often.
The only thing that I miss is some sort of time tracking option. Having scores is good and everything, but a way to check how long each level took would be a plus. It's not that the level's take a while to beat, they don't. I would just like to see my timing.
Fairy Mahjong 3D (Fairy Mahjong Solitaire 3D Twist is what it should be called), is a very enjoyable game and well worth the $.99. The game is addictive and with 45 levels and three different difficulty settings, this match three game will provide you with a lot of entertainmnet (if you like match three or puzzle games that is). Finally, the fact that there are no permissions or in-app purchasing makes this one of the better game values on the market! So download and enjoy!

I love to play Mahjong. It's one of my favorite relaxing games. The 3D spin on this game is interesting. It looks great on my Kindle Fire. Thanks Amazon for the FAOTD.

Mahjong Addict
This Mahjong is OK and fun to play. I typically don't have a lot of time during my day to play games but a quick Mahjong break never killed anybody. It's not the best but it's OK

My kids love this game
My 2 year old and 4 year old love to play this game. The music could be a little less annoying but that is what the volume buttons are for.

challenging
This is a fun and challenging game that requires that you move faster and faster as you progress through the levels.

A good Mahjong game that's fairly difficult at times.
It passes the time and is fun. The 3d style game play makes it interesting for finding the right tiles at times, and sometimes it's difficult to select the right tile. Read more

Like other Mahjong games..
I have tired. Distinguishing differences on the tiles was difficult for my older eyes...don't need that strain when trying to enjoy a game.

I do enjoy this mahjong. But it doesn't keep my interest very long. There needs to be a way to progress further with more levels. Other than that, I really do like it.... Read more

Great game as a FAOTD
Great game as a Free App of the Day. The first 20 levels are pretty boring. The second 25 levels are addictive and I keep playing them over and over.

I really don't care for this app. I guess I was expecting something different. I can't really say it was a bad game just something that I don't enjoy playing
