Mah-jongg - an ancient Chinese game - a kind of sophisticated rummy variant

The origin

Mah Jongg (also Mahjong, Mah Jong, Mahjongg, Mah Jonhh or Majian) can be traced back to 500 years BC. It is associated with the great Chinese teacher and philosopher Confucius. However, newer theories say that Mah-Jongg was ca. in the 19th Century, in Ningpo or Shanghai, during the reign of the Ching Dynasty.

The game

In terms of gameplay, Ma Jongg is very similar to the various rummy games. It is a tasteful and aesthetic game that is fun and requires strategy and skill. It came to America around 1920 and immediately gained great popularity. Similar to rummy, in Mah-Jongg the goal is to put all the pieces together and place them using different grouping options.

Another well-known Mah-Jongg variant is the one-player variant (solitaire variant), in which you try to dismantle the previously set-up playing field by putting the game pieces together in pairs.

The rules

There are numerous rule variants for Mah Jongg, e.g. B. Chinese traditional or Jewish American. The standard version is played with 136 pieces. The eight "bricks" of the main color (four flowers: plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, bamboo and four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter) are not played.
