Sparrow Trails

Sparrow Trails is a Chinese-style strategy roguelite that combines mahjong hand-building, path-drawing puzzles, score chasing, and buildcrafting.

Take over a long-forgotten mahjong hall and find your own route across an ever-changing table. Connect tiles, complete scoring patterns, stack multipliers, and break the target score within a limited number of moves while facing rivals who constantly rewrite the rules.

This is not a traditional four-player mahjong game. There are no long waits between turns—every decision revolves around routes, hands, positioning, and your evolving build.

Trace Your Own Route

Each move presents a freshly laid 7x5 board. Connect adjacent mahjong tiles and plan your route from any direction.

Sequences, triplets, pairs, quads, and special scoring patterns all contribute different base scores and multipliers. Selecting more tiles is not always better: the spaces you cross, the hands you complete, and the enchantments and upgrades you trigger all shape the final result.

Each standard round gives you only three tracing attempts. Secure the target score—or risk everything in pursuit of a stronger hand and a True Yakuman.

Build Around Your Favorite Hands

Choose characters with distinct tile-pool tendencies and abilities. Acquire passive upgrades, purchase emergency items, and bind enchantments to specific spaces on the board.

Enchantments remain fixed even when the tiles are replaced, turning the route itself into part of your build. Strengthen sequences, triplets, pairs, specific suits, economy effects, positional triggers, or high-risk multipliers.

Face Rivals Who Rewrite the Rules

Every stage ends with a special rival encounter.

They may raise the target score, freeze or conceal spaces, restrict your route, inject special tiles, or change how the entire board is generated. Raw scoring power alone will not carry you to the end—study their rules, adapt your build, and keep the right tools in reserve.

Chase the True Yakuman

A real-time preview shows the hands, multipliers, and estimated score created by your current route, helping newcomers learn the system as they play.

Begin with simple sequences and triplets, then discover increasingly complex patterns and build interactions. When the strict conditions are finally fulfilled, the table will celebrate your True Yakuman with a unique presentation.

Bring the Old Hall Back to Life

Use the rewards earned from each run to renovate the mahjong hall, restore inherited manuscripts, and unlock new characters and collections.

Dusty tables, a silent counter, and sealed records will gradually return to life. The hall is more than a menu—it is a lasting record of every challenge you have overcome.
