Mahjong

---

Similar to the Western card game rummy,  Mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and luck.  The game is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, although some regional variations may omit some tiles or add unique ones.  To win a game, a player bust be both offensive and defensive – the aim is to complete the best hand as quickly as possible, while also not discarding tiles that will be of advantage to other players.
