Tokoro's Mahjong Jr. is one of those classic Game Boy mahjong games that somehow feels both simple and oddly satisfying. You start off with the usual tile-matching setup, but the Jr. in the title means it’s a little more forgiving—perfect if you’re still figuring out how to spot a winning hand without sweating over complex rules.

The controls are straightforward (this is a Game Boy game, after all), and the AI doesn’t immediately crush you, which is nice. I remember getting stuck on a few hands early on, but after a couple of rounds, you start recognizing patterns. The music’s got that nostalgic beep-boop charm, too.

If you’ve ever wanted to dip into mahjong without feeling overwhelmed, this one’s a solid pick. Just don’t expect flashy animations—it’s pure, grid-based tile action.
