The excitement of mahjong lies in the decisions that you will constantly have to make. The first person to match a hand of 14 tiles and thus "call mahjong" ends the game, whereupon tiles are scored and a winner is declared.
Tiles are shuffled, die are cast, and rituals involving the allocation of tiles and then the exchange of tiles begin. Mahjong is always played with four players seated around a table. Although an American mahjong set can be used to play Chinese Mahjong, the rules that follow are for the American game.
American mahjong utilizes racks, jokers, "Hands and Rules" score cards and has several distinct gameplay mechanics.
Mahjong is a game of both skill and luck that originated in China many centuries ago and was brought to the West in the 1920's with the publication of Joseph Park Babcock's "Rules of Mah-Jongg." American mahjong (also sometimes spelled " Mah Jongg" or called " Maajh") is unique from Asian mahjong in several ways.
