Jade Pairs
Play Jade Pairs free online. Match pairs of free ivory tiles stacked on a jade table, clear every layout and use your three shuffles and hints wisely.
How to Play Jade Pairs
Ivory tiles are piled in layers on a jade table. Each tile shows a symbol, and every symbol appears an even number of times. Pick two free tiles with the same symbol and both of them disappear.
A tile is free when no tile sits on top of it and at least one of its sides, left or right, is open. Free tiles are drawn bright, and blocked tiles are shaded so you can see at a glance which ones you can take.
Clear every tile to finish the layout and earn a time bonus, then the next layout begins. Every layout can be cleared, but taking pairs in the wrong order can bury the tiles you still need.
If no matching free pairs are left, you can shuffle the tiles that remain. You have three shuffles in the whole game. When no pairs are left and no shuffles remain, or the tiles left can never be cleared even by a shuffle, the game is over.

Tips and Tricks
- Work from the top of the stack and the ends of long rows first, because those tiles free up the most others.
- When three or four of the same symbol are free, think about which pair to take before you pick.
- Save shuffles for when you are really stuck.
- A hint costs points, so try to spot the pair yourself first.
