Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be mostly manageable, with only one achievement requiring excessive repetition due to a mismatch in board count. While the game offers a substantial amount of content with around 120 boards, navigating through them can feel tedious due to slow move animations. Overall, casual gamers can enjoy the experience without feeling overwhelmed by grinding.
- “There's only one achievement that I think is a little grindy, which is the 'complete 200 boards with 3 stars', but there are only 120 boards, so you would have to play 100 boards twice or keep replaying the same one.”
- “Meow Jong provides quite a lot of content with around 120 boards, which I found really impressive. However, navigating through them all was a bit tedious and painful because you have to click the arrow button, which takes a long time due to the move animation.”
