Shisen-Sho, also called Sichuan, is a pair-matching puzzle in which you remove two identical tiles by joining them with horizontal and vertical lines. The line cannot pass through other tiles and may turn at most twice. The name comes from Sichuan Province (四川省) in China.
Traditional Shisen-Sho uses mahjong tiles. Unlike mahjong solitaire (Shanghai), where you match free tiles from a stacked layout, Shisen-Sho is played on a single flat layer and the challenge is finding a clear path between the two tiles.
Play Sichuan follows the Shisen-Sho connection rule but uses themed picture tiles such as garden, forest, and cosmos sets instead of mahjong tiles. Empty space around the board can also be part of a path.
