Mahjong is a traditional Chinese game that has been popular for centuries. The game itself, which is generally played with either plastic tiles or porcelain tiles, involves a pair of players taking turns to match four tiles of the same kind. A player can win by making either the highest points total or by having the right combination of tiles. Mahjong can be played either as a two-player game or as a four-player game.
Warning: Even though Mahjong is viewed as a game of luck, there are elements of skill involved. It is important to not only memorize the various tile values and combinations but also to be a skilled player in making strategic moves.
