Mahjong is a popular game that originated in China and is sometimes referred to as mah-jongg. Most chinese players, especialy those of Mandarin speaking backgrounds, also call the game ma jiang.
Mahjong is a game that consists of skill, calculation, strategy and to a certain degree, luck. There are several variations of the game and depending on which one is being played, luck can play a minor or dominant factor in determining the winner. The basic premise of the game is that each player is dealt thirteen or sixteen tiles (depending on the variation being played). Each player has a turn of discarding a tile with the goal to make four or five melds/combinations and one pair. Winning is achieved by drawing a new or discarded tile to complete the hand.
