Mah-jongMah Jong is a game that originated in China and is commonly played by four players. The game is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols using bamboos, circles, dragons & the four winds. The tiles are placed into four walls, which form a rectangle. Each player has a wooden rack upon which to place the tiles. It bears some resemblance to the card game of Rummy. A beginner’s table is available for those new to the game.
