Players: Mahjong is typically played by 4 players, though some versions allow for 2 or 3 players.
Mahjong Tiles
The Mahjong set consists of 144 tiles, divided into different categories:
-
Suits (Characters): Bamboo, Characters, and Circles.
-
Honor Tiles: Winds (East, South, West, North) and Dragons (Red, Green, White).
-
Bonus Tiles: Flowers and Seasons (depending on the version of Mahjong).
The tiles are shuffled and stacked to form a “wall,” with each player drawing from this stack during the game.
Objective of the Game
The primary goal is to form a complete hand consisting of 14 tiles, which must be grouped into:
-
Pong: Three identical tiles (e.g., 7-7-7).
-
Chow: Three consecutive tiles from the same suit (e.g., 3-4-5 of bamboo).
-
Pair: Two identical tiles (e.g., 9-9).
Once you complete your hand with one pair and at least four sets of Pong or Chow, you win.
Gameplay
-
Draw a Tile: Each player draws one tile from the wall at the start of their turn.
-
Discard a Tile: After drawing a tile, the player discards one tile to maintain a hand of 13 tiles.
-
Claim a Discarded Tile: If another player discards a tile that helps you complete a Pong or Chow, you can claim it and add it to your hand.
-
Complete the Hand: A complete hand consists of one pair and four sets of Pong or Chow, totaling 14 tiles.
Winning
A player wins the game when they have a complete hand. A completed hand is one that has:
-
One Pair: Two identical tiles.
-
Four Sets: Each set can be a Pong (three identical tiles) or a Chow (three consecutive tiles in the same suit).
There are two ways to win:
-
Self-Drawn (Winning by Drawing the Last Tile): This happens when you complete your hand by drawing the final tile from the wall, rather than claiming a discarded tile from another player. A self-drawn win is often rewarded with more points.
-
Claiming a Discarded Tile: If you form a valid hand by claiming a discarded tile from another player, you can win.
Scoring in Mahjong
Different versions of Mahjong have various rules for scoring, but the general idea is that hands with rare or difficult-to-form combinations score higher. Common scoring combinations include:
-
Pong or Chow: Each set adds points to your score.
-
Seven Pairs: A special hand consisting of seven pairs of identical tiles.
-
Thirteen Orphans: A rare hand with specific terminal and honor tiles.
In some versions, the winner is awarded bonus points for drawing the last tile or completing the hand under special conditions (e.g., using only one suit).
Strategy Tips
-
Observe Discards: Pay attention to the tiles discarded by other players. This will help you avoid discarding tiles that others need.
-
Complete Your Hand Efficiently: Try to form your hand quickly while also being flexible in how you complete it, as Mahjong is often about adapting to the tiles you draw.
-
Know When to Claim Tiles: Claim discarded tiles wisely; sometimes it’s better to wait for the right tile to complete your hand rather than taking a tile that doesn’t fit.
