Four Rivers Elvish |
![]() |

Four Rivers, also known as Shisen-Sho, is a solitaire game played with mahjong tiles.
You match tiles similar to other mahjong solitaire games, but in Four Rivers, you
connect the edges of two tiles with at most three straight lines. It's a nifty variation
on the mahjong game and definitely rewards clever players.
Our game comes with a number of fun features such as undo/redo and a mulligan in case
you get stuck. You can even ask for help along the way. Three levels of play make it
easy to learn the rules or just play a quick game.
And Four Rivers Elvish lets you play this fun, addictive game and practice your Sanskrit, too!
The runes and Sanskrit characters are used on many of the tiles including the numerals and the four winds.
Check out our classic tile set too! You can
also view some more detailed examples of the game rules there.
