Butterfly Mahjong table: 88 tiles
Two wings joined by a narrow body. It is wide, but only two layers high, so fewer tiles are buried under others and it stays gentle even with a good number of tiles.

- Tiles: 88 (44 pairs to match)

How it plays
56 of the 88 tiles sit on the bottom layer, and 32 are stacked above them; the top layer holds 32 tiles. Tiles you can see but cannot pick are underneath others, so the stacks are where the planning is. Every game is dealt so it can be finished, and you have hints, unlimited undo and a shuffle if you get stuck.
