Temple of Mahjong is a fairly standard little mahjong game for Facebook that uses collecting and unlockables to help encourage users to replay frequently. You begin with only four tilesets and three layouts to play with, but you unlock either a new tile or a new layout (sometimes both) every time you complete a session. Where most mahjong games focus on clearing a board, Temple of Mahjong is built around trying to get a high score before your allotted time runs out. Certain tiles grant bonuses when matched, so you can rack up extra-high scores by making tile matches rapidly during the bonus period.
