Chinese Mahjong is a traditional tile-based game that originated in China. It is typically played by four players and involves a set of 144 tiles, which are divided into suits and honor tiles. The objective is to form a complete hand by drawing and discarding tiles, creating sets of matching tiles or sequences. The game is played in rounds, with players taking turns to draw and discard tiles. Scoring can vary based on the combinations formed, and players often use strategy and skill to outmaneuver their opponents. Mahjong has many regional variations, each with its own rules and scoring systems.
