Mahjong
Come along with your friends and have a great time playing Mahjong. Mahjong is a game for four players that originated in China. Mahjong involves skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain degree of chance. Depending on the variation, which is played, luck can be anything from a minor to a dominant factor in success. In the game, you are given either thirteen or sixteen tiles for a hand (depending on the variation
being played). When your turn comes, you draw a tile and discard one. Your goal is to make four or five melds (also depending on the variation) and a
pair, or "head". You win "on the draw", by drawing a new or discarded tile that completes your hand. Thus a winning hand actually contains fourteen
(or seventeen) tiles.
