Social Features
Mahjong is fundamentally a social game. Mahjong Stars builds upon this by providing a comprehensive suite of social features to encourage interaction, collaboration and community growth.
Community First: Every social feature is designed to foster genuine connections, friendly competition, and a vibrant global community.
Chat Functionality and Friend Lists
Communication lies at the heart of any successful online community. Mahjong Stars implements:
- Integrated Chat: An in-game chat system allows players to communicate before, during and after matches. Chats are separated into general channels, match-specific chats, clan channels and private messages. Moderation tools ensure respectful conduct.
- Friend Lists: Players can add friends and see when they are online. They can invite friends to casual matches, private rooms or tournaments. Friend lists also track recent opponents, making it easy to rematch or send messages after a game.
- Emotes and Stickers: To add personality to interactions, players can use emojis, animated stickers or custom phrases. Emojis can be earned through achievements or purchased with soft currency.
- Voice and Video Chat: Premium rooms or clan spaces may support integrated voice and video chat. These features simulate real-world Mahjong tables and allow for more dynamic communication.
Private Rooms and Customization Options
An in-game chat system allows players to communicate before, during and after matches.Private rooms allow players to create bespoke game environments:
- Customization: Room hosts can set rules, select Mahjong variants, determine time limits and choose visual themes. They can also pick background music or ambient sounds to enhance immersion.
- Invitations and Access Control: Hosts decide who can enter, using passwords or invitation lists. Private rooms support both casual play and high-stakes matches.
- Streaming Integration: Room hosts can stream their matches directly to platforms like Twitch or YouTube. Integrated overlays show player names, character avatars and real-time scores, making it easy to share gameplay with a broader audience.
Achievements, Replays and Social Media Integration
To reward continued engagement, Mahjong Stars offers a rich achievement system:
