Title: Mah Jongg
Post by: Gerianne on March 19, 2013, 06:10:45 am
I learned how to play Mah Jongg last July.
It is a challenging game and good for the mind.
It seems popular, yet it's hard to find players.

I know absolutely nothing about Mah Jongg but, I would like to learn about it. All I know is it is a game played with something that looks akin to domino's except it's Chinese characters. Could you tell us more about it? You didn't say much. :)

Mahjongg is a block game where you match blocks and receive a score for them.  I have played several versions of Mahjongg and it is fun; you don't get a lot of time to solve the puzzle. :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

I play Mah Jongg Safari on Pogo. I don't get as many tokens from it as I do from other games, but it is still fun to play. I am always trying to solve the puzzle in less time.

I have the Mah Jong software on my computer and enjoy playing it quite often.

I play Mahjong Safari and Garden Mahjong on Pogo - fun!

My mother gave me her Mahjong tile set from China.  I don't understand the instructions (they are in English) as they are rather confusing.  It looks like it's for four players.  Apparently there are leagues for this game. Goodness!  I'd love to be able to play it (and play it well) so I could join a league.  That would be fun!

I've probably been living under a rock then, because I didn't even know the game existed. I got somewhat intrigued now, and will try and find some info on it and play it, to see what is all about. I like games, specially challenging ones, and it ticks me off that said game is apparently very popular and I didn't know a thing about it.

I used to deal a mah Jongg game in a casino years ago. I can understand why it would be hard to find players. Maybe you could advertise on cragslist.

My wife plays Mah Jongg often. I think the object of the game it is kind of like gin or gin rummy but with tiles.   :dontknow: That is probably very oversimplified. I think the suites are something like stix, *bleep*, flowers and characters. There may be more and I don't know how many of each suite there are. Also there are many variations on the rules and scoring.

I have always thought mah jongg was a little like playing pick up sticks but with tiles.

It's a game that you need 4 people to play, but it's fun!!
For the ones like to play online games, Mahjong Dimensions is fun to play.

I've played Mah Jong a few times, but only on the computer. I think that it's pretty addicting! I'd love to play off the computer. My Hubby isn't a fan of it though. I didn't know that you could play with more than one person! Very cool!  :thumbsup:

I never thought of it as a any more than a one person game. It is challenging, hard to win, but fun to play.

I've only ever played different types of this on the computer. Some online and others off. I haven't played in a long time though. It's a decent way to kill some time. Maybe I'll go find a game online somewhere now, since it's been so long.  :)

MahJongg is a four player game..similar to rummy. There's different types of Mah Jongg....Singapore, Malaysian, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, etc. We usually decide what the terms are before we begin the game.

I have no idea how to play Mah Jongg. It seems so intimidating.

I love playing but can only play on the computer as there is not anyone close by who know how to play. Of course i love playing banco but again no one close by to play with. So guess will continue playing on computer.
