PrinceWatercress plays Shanghai (SMS) - Part 3 of 6

Once again, I get stuck with 40-something tiles both times. Oof.

Shanghai is played with 144 tiles from the Chinese game of Mahjong. At the start of the game, the tiles are shuffled and laid out in the Dragon formation.

The object of the game is to remove all of the tiles. They must be removed two at a time, in matching pairs, from among the free tiles.

A tile is free if there's nothing on top of it, and if it can slide left or right.

Two tiles match if they are identical. Any two flowers match. Any two seasons match.

The game is won when all tiles are removed...or lost when no legal moves remain. Let's go!
