Mah-Jongg is a traditional Chinese game using illustrated tiles. Originating in China in the mid-19th century, it was introduced to the U.S. in the 1920s. It is now played in different forms throughout Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand. Although the rules for game play are fairly constant, there are an immense variety of scoring schemes and it remains a popular gambling game. The tiles consist of three suits numbering 1-9 (Dots, Numbers or Characters), three different dragons (Red, Green, and White), and the four winds (east, south, west, and north). There are four copies of each tile. This totals to 136 tiles. In addition, special Flower, Season, and Joker tiles may also be used. Four players take turns drawing from a stock (the wall), or from the other players’ discards, in an attempt to form sets of numeric sequences e.g., 5-6-7 of the same suit, which can only be drawn from the player at one’s left, by calling “Chow”, triplets and quadruplets which can be drawn from the discards out-of-turn by calling “Pung”, pairs, and other patterns. “Pung” takes precedence over “Chow”, and “Mah Jongg” takes precedence over all. More detailed information can be found on Masters Traditional Games. This example contains a card tray with counters and flat bone sticks with blue and red dots. Underneath the tray, there are 144 bamboo and bone tiles carved in four colours of red, green, blue and brown.
