Latest Updates from Our Project:

The Playmat is Finished and More about Solo Rules
8 months ago – Sun, Dec 07, 2025 at 11:47:14 AM

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share a big visual update — Holly has finished the Boba Mahjong playmat artwork! 🎉

Thanks to your feedback over the past week, Holly refined the colors, details, and overall balance, and the final result is absolutely adorable.

🖼️ What’s New?

The playmat features a whimsical boba café scene, complete with charming characters, lush greenery, and cozy storefront vibes. It’s printed on 10x9" neoprene with stitched edges, so it feels great, sits flat, and holds up beautifully over time.

And of course, it’s designed to make gameplay smoother, providing a clear, thematic space for your draw deck and mixing pile, while bringing the world of Boba Mahjong to life on your table.

💬 What Do You Think?

  • We’d love to hear your thoughts!
  • Do you like the café setting?
  • How does it feel with the game on top?
  • Would you want more art pieces like this in the future?

Drop your reactions and suggestions in the comments, and your feedback truly shapes what we create!

🀄 Stretch Goal Change: Solo Rules Added!

Several of you asked if the solo mode could be officially included in the game. We love that idea, so we’re making it a stretch goal! Solo mode started as a community request, and now it can become an official part of the game you helped build. ❤️

Lower Stretch Goal Target

We also heard concerns about funding limitations and pacing. To accommodate the current campaign experience, we’ve lowered the stretch goal amount so it’s easier to achieve together.

This gives us a realistic path forward while still adding meaningful value to the game.

Thank you for voicing your thoughts. We genuinely appreciate your honesty, optimism, and support.

Keep the Momentum Going!

We’re building something cute, clever, and joy-filled together, and every comment, share, and early pledge keeps this project moving forward. Whether you’re here for the art, the gameplay, or the boba jokes, thank you for being part of this journey. 🧋✨

With gratitude,

Solo Rules for Boba Mahjong!
8 months ago – Fri, Dec 05, 2025 at 09:32:29 AM

Happy Friday, Everyone!

Someone on BoardGameGeek asked if Boba Mahjong could be played solo, and I thought, why not give it a try? 😄 Anyway, I believe this solo version captures the heart of Boba Mahjong’s set-collection puzzle and adds a tight, thoughtful, and replayable challenge where every decision matters.

Please note: these rules are not currently planned to be included in the printed rulebook, but if you enjoy them, let me know. Community feedback matters a lot!

🀄 COMPONENTS

Pocket Edition Use: 

  • Four suits of 0 to 7
  • Six topping cards: Caramel, Egg Pudding, Green Bean, Mint Leaves, Rainbow Jelly, Red Bean

Grande Edition Use:

  • Five suits of 0 to 6
  • Six topping cards: Caramel, Egg Pudding, Green Bean, Mint Leaves, Rainbow Jelly, Red Bean

🧋 SETUP

  • Shuffle all cards then randomly remove cards:
  • Pocket Edition: remove 2 cards
  • Grande Edition: remove 5 cards

Play using the rules as if you are playing a two-player game.

🥤 TURN

Play as if you are in a two-player game, with one exception: When you activate a topping power while creating a topping set, the topping card you used is removed from the game. This adds tension and resource pressure. Use wisely!

🎯 GAME END

Ends the same way as the base game.

🧮 SCORING

Scoring works normally, with one twist: If you end the game with three topping cards in your scoring area, you can score ALL of your score cards (instead of selecting six). This rewards players who lean into the topping strategy, but it can be risky!

What do you think? I think it’s perfect for moments when you want to relax with a cup of boba tea, practice combos and topping timing, experiment with card efficiency, or just unwind with a cozy solo brain teaser

Thanks so much for reading and supporting Boba Mahjong Grande!!! Back soon with more updates ❤️🧋

Cheers,
Ta-Te & the Sunrise Tornado Team
