Mahjong is a Chinese casino game that is more than two thousand years old. The game, which is played with tiles, is not a difficult game to learn.

The object of the game is to be the first player to complete a hand with four sets of three or four sets of tiles in a suit and to have an identical pair in any suit. The game is similar to solitaire except tiles are used instead of cards.

Four players can play the game and they each sit around a table with the tiles in the center, face-down. Each side of the table is represented by the four winds, so there are north, south, east and west winds.  There are a total of one hundred forty-four tiles used in the game and the game begins with each player drawing thirty-six tiles and placing them in two rows of eighteen stacked on top of one another. Each player pushes the two rows into the center of the table in the shape of a square.  Seven stacks are set aside for the exchange of flowers at a later point in the game.  The east player beings the game by rolling the dice and taking tiles from the wall.  The player’s hand consists of fourteen tiles. As tiles are removed, the tiles in the lower layers are exposed.  Players clear the grid by drawing tiles and deciding if they want to keep the draw and pairing the tiles as they play. The tiles have points that correspond to them and these determine the player’s score.
