Mahjong is a classic tile‑based strategy game originating in 19th-century China and now played worldwide. Designed for 4 players (with popular variations for 3 players), Mahjong combines skill, tactical planning, timing, and a touch of luck as players draw and discard tiles to form specific winning hands.

This traditional set contains 136 beautifully engraved tiles—including suit tiles (Bamboo, Characters, Dots), Honor tiles (Winds and Dragons), and optional Bonus tiles (Flowers & Seasons). Gameplay involves building melds like Pungs (three of a kind), Chows (three sequential suit tiles), Kongs (sets of four), and a paired “eye,” aiming to be the first to declare a winning hand (Mahjong).

Across its rich history, Mahjong has evolved into many regional variants—such as Chinese, Japanese, American (featuring racks and joker tiles), and Vietnamese—each with distinctive rules, scoring systems, and unique cultural flavor. Games typically last around 30–90 minutes and are celebrated for their blend of strategy, memory, and social interaction.
