Mahjong is a Chinese game of skill, which involves four players. Although the game play in general is similar in all of the versions of mahjong, the game pieces and scoring, however, slightly differ depending on the regional variations.
Almost similar to gin rummy, the object of mahjong is to build sets, as well as get the highest point value. In order to do this, each player selects and discards tiles (the game pieces, bearing different designs) until an entire set of combinations has been made.
For this article, we will cover the most popular variation, which is the Hong Kong Mahjong style.
So let's start the ball rolling (in this case, the dice), and begin playing Hong Kong Mahjong.
