Mah-jongg is a centuries-old version of rummy played with tiles instead of cards. The playing pieces may be foreign, but the game is simple to learn.
Step 1: Count the pieces
Step 2: Know the suits
Step 3: Understand the honor
Step 4: Examine the bonus
Each tile has significance in Chinese; for non-Chinese speakers, being able to differentiate between tiles is enough to play the game.
Step 5: Shuffle and deal the tiles
Step 6: Types of melds
Step 7: Begin play
Step 8: Pick up a discarded tile
If a player creates a meld by drawing a discard, the meld must be shown to the group, but not if it’s created by drawing from the draw pile.
Step 9: Play continues
Step 10: Win a hand
Step 11: Score the game
Step 12: Continuing the game
Fact: Mah-jongg originated in 19th-century China, and before World War I each Chinese province had its own rule variations and name for the game.
