Elite Mahjong specializes in custom tile layouts but gets serious kudos from me for creating a kid-friendly tile set with designs less distracting than the traditional layouts. With tons of different tile layouts, custom design options for the serious Mahjong solitaire player and varying levels of difficultly from beginner levels playable by anyone to some of the most complex tile layouts ever imagined. Sure this isn't the classic Mahjong played competitively against your peers, but you'll never face the embarrassment of getting stomped by someone better at selecting tiles than you are either. From the long line of tile games released over the course of the last year, this variant is among my favorites. Others that deserve attention are The Emperor's Mah Jong and Mahjong Towers Eternity.
