Fortress Mahjong table: 108 tiles
A fortress: four corner towers round an open courtyard. The towers hold the tallest stacks, so clearing them early opens up the rest of the table.

How it plays
76 of the 108 tiles sit on the bottom layer, and 32 are stacked above them; the top layer holds 8 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.
