About Sands of Anubis
Sands of Anubis is a mahjong-style tile matcher set in an Egyptian tomb. Click an open tile, then its matching pair. Only tiles with a free long side can be taken.
Layers stack deep, so the order you remove tiles decides whether the last pair is reachable. Timed and relaxed modes split the experience between score chasing and unwinding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if no moves remain?
Restart the tomb. Layouts shuffle between runs, so a fresh board opens new pairs.
How is this different from mahjong solitaire?
Same open-tile rule, but the tray and the layered tomb layout change what counts as reachable.
Is there a time limit?
Only in timed mode. Relaxed mode lets you study the stack for as long as you like.
