Cheap and simple mahjong (Shanghai) solitaire game, works great. Surprisingly addictive given all you do is match tiles. Its similar to the version that used to come with Windows 7/Vista. The game initially launched in French for me but other than that i've got no complaints.
Always, not sometimes last few tiles are very locked in. The other issue is enlargement of the graphics would be nice. If your graphics card is set to a higher resolution, you'll have to dummy it down for this game if you don't want to strain your eyes visually. Also the depth perception, in the tile layers, some tiles look locked in when they aren't.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
