The tiles however, are not ordinary Mahjong tiles, they come in several types:
1) Money tiles. If a duo matches 2 tiles of the same amount of Simoleons, they add that amount to the Jetsetter's winnings. Blue numbers indicate a low amount, green numbers represent a medium amount and red numbers stand for a high amount of Simoleons. Every amount has 4 tiles total.
2) Clue tiles. If a duo matches 2 Clue tiles, they earn a private Clue for after the Challenge. There are 8 Clue tiles in total, which means a maximum of 4 duos can earn a Clue. A duo can only earn 1 Clue, even if they match multiple sets.
3) Switch tiles. If a duo matches 2 Switch tiles, the members of the duo will change partners after the Challenge is over. Players who do not grab these tiles will stay with their partners, the change will occur only among all duos who match a Switch tile set.
This is the field you will be playing on. The darker layer is the bottom level, the lighter layer the top level. There are tiles underneath the top level tiles, but they are only revealed once the top level tile on it is gone.
Since this isn't really hurrying up, would it be an idea to make the playing order a First Come, First Serve thing? Which means, Kitty can play first, then Lilli could play, then a third person could play, until all duos have played.
We can then either keep that order as the playing order, or keep playing on a First Come, First Serve basis.
I imagine it’d be better to settle on an order, so at least to start we can make it first come, first serve, and then just carry that order over for each progressive round.
In mahjong the outside tiles that are not covered by any other pieces are eligible to be played. (Has been playing wah to much mahjong lately...)
Tiles on lower levels typically can be played as well as long as they're on the outside and don't have any tiles covering them. But I don't know if vul is running it that way.

I'm running it that way. The videos on top of the page tell that as well.
All the lighter tile ones in the middle are on a layer above the darker ones on the outside. It's like a pyramid. so the ones in the middle are on the outside on their layer. Does that help?
Tiles are only free when there is an empty spot left or right to them, eventual tiles on top or bottom are irrelevant.
This I was always confused about xD because sometimes I swear it does let you play them even if it's just the top clear. So good thing to see it said like that. My game I play highlights the pieces so I know which ones are playable and which aren't. Not the pairs just the pieces.
I'm waiting for my partner to say something beyond "hmm" myself. Because story-wise, I think Wendi and Pearl would jump at the first chance to switch they got, but IRL I'm quite enjoying playing with Tiger... decisions, decisions...

How the game works is explained in these videos:

You can decide yourselves on a playing order.
Good luck and lots of wisdom.

Same here.

I'd like to match $250, not sure how I'm supposed to tell you?
Good call.
Just added a coordinates map.
Though a §250 match isn't possible atm.
Erm clearly I don't know what I'm doing.
I thought we can only do the middle part.
I thought so too because it's mahjong, but I guess not.

I'm running it that way. The videos on top of the page tell that as well.
Well I'm so confised now and I was so happy I finally understood one of these challenges lol.
So Vul, which tiles can I match? Only those in A and J?
I believe the non blacked out tiles are the playable ones here Kitty. (i put a black 50 pct opacity layer over the ones that can't be played)

Thanks for the help, I'm still confused though.
Can I match I2 and J4 please?
Year Long Community Challenge
A3-A6
B1, B2, B7, B8
C2-C7
H2-H7
I1, I2, I7, I8
J3-J6
Tiles are only free when there is an empty spot left or right to them, eventual tiles on top or bottom are irrelevant.
I2-J4 is a proper match. The Clue tile on I4 is now free.

Yeah, this game is going far too slow.. We have to stay active with those moves, or else we'll still be doing this by the summer
