Mahjong is a classic four-player tile game that originated in China and has gained global popularity. Players draw and discard tiles to form a complete winning hand, usually consisting of four sets of three tiles (either sequences or identical triplets) plus a pair. The game combines skill, strategy, memory, and a bit of luck. Various regional versions exist, such as Japanese riichi mahjong, which adds complex scoring rules and defensive play. Beyond the competition, mahjong is a social activity that brings friends and families together. Its rich traditions and endless tactical depth make it a timeless favorite for players of all ages.
