Real Mah Jongg is a social game that originated in China
|
|
thousands of years ago. Four players, named after the four
|
|
winds, take tiles from a wall in turn. The best tiles are
|
|
made of ivory and wood; they click pleasantly when you
|
|
knock them together.
|
|
|
|
The object is to remove all Mah Jongg tiles from the play-
|
|
ing field by taking one matching pair at a time. Gener-
|
|
ally, two tiles match if they have identical pictures on
|
|
top. There are some exceptions: any season tile (spring,
|
|
summer, autumn, or winter) matches any other season, and
|
|
any flower tile (bamboo, orchid, plum, or chrysathemum)
|
|
matches any other flower. There are 144 tiles in all --
|
|
one of each season and flower, and four copies of each of
|
|
the following: 1 to 9 dots; 1 to 9 bamboo sticks; charac-
|
|
ters for 1 to 9; the four winds (north, south, east, and
|
|
west); and three dragons (red, green, and white).
