About this game

Mahjong hands you a wall of a hundred and thirty-six tiles and a deceptively simple goal: draw, discard, and shape your hand into a winning set before anyone else does. Dots, bamboo, characters, dragons and winds click together with a satisfying weight no card game quite matches, and reading which tiles your opponents are hoarding, or desperately avoiding, turns every discard into a small piece of information warfare. Centuries old and endlessly variable across regional rule sets, this is the tile game that rummy, gin and half of modern set-collection design ultimately trace back to.
