WHAT IS MAH JONGG?
Mahjong or Mah-jongg or Mah Jongg is a tile-based game that was developed in the 19th century in China and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century. It is extremely popular in the United States.
The Trilogy Mahjongg Club members play one or more of three different versions of Mah Jongg. Each version has different rules. American Mah Jongg is a variant of the Chinese game. All versions utilize racks to hold each player’s tiles. Hands, rules, and scoring systems accompany each of the versions. The goal of the game is to be the first, by picking and discarding, to match ones’ tiles to a “hand”.
In Chinese and Filipino Mah Jongg, hands are determined by the players with many interesting specialty hands to choose from. American Mah Jongg players use a ‘card’ which offers hundreds of hands from which to choose to make a hand or “Mah Jongg”. The National Mah Jongg League publishes a new card annually which keeps the game fun and challenging.
All three versions are lots of fun. Come and play with us! Mah Jongg is social and fun. It will also do wonders to exercise your brain!
