What is Mahjong? Understanding the Game and Its Variations

Mahjong is a tile-based game that originated in China over 150 years ago, in the mid-19th century. It is typically played by four players, with the objective of forming a complete hand by creating combinations of tiles, such as "pongs" (three identical tiles), "chows" (three consecutive tiles of the same suit), and a pair (two identical tiles). The game consists of 144 tiles, divided into suits (bamboo, characters, and circles) as well as honor tiles (winds and dragons).

Players take turns drawing and discarding tiles in an effort to complete their hand. A winning hand typically includes four sets (pongs or chows) and one pair. While there are regional rule variations, the game generally involves a balance of strategy, skill, and an element of luck.

There are numerous variations of Mahjong, and on this site, we offer American Mahjong, a simplified version of the traditional Oriental game. American Mahjong is known for its ease of play, with a focus on creating recognizable sets and hands that are straightforward to execute. In contrast, more complex versions such as Chinese Classical (or Traditional) Mahjong and Hong Kong Mahjong follow the original rules and feature more intricate scoring systems and strategic elements.

Which mahjong brand - Metro Mah Jongg, Linda Li, or American-Wholesaler is the best choice?

Metro Mah Jongg and Linda Li offer soft-sided mahjong sets in fabric bags, utilizing high-quality cotton for Linda Li and denim for Metro Mah Jongg. Although both brands provide fabric bags for their mahjong sets, they differ in terms of style. Metro Mah Jongg opts for a minimalistic and sporty design, while Linda Li leans towards a more feminine look with its quilted design bags.

These luggage-style aluminum case mahjong sets are well-suited for those who prioritize added protection for their mahjong items and prefer a different method of transportation, especially for longer distances.
