Mahjong is a traditional Chinese tile-based game that combines skill, strategy, and a bit of luck. Played by four players, it involves drawing and discarding tiles to form specific sets, such as "pongs" (three of a kind) or "chows" (sequences).
Each tile has a unique design, including characters, bamboo, and circles, often accompanied by special winds and dragons. Mahjong requires careful planning, memory, and observation of opponents' moves.
Beyond entertainment, it serves as a social activity, bringing families and friends together. Over time, Mahjong has spread worldwide, inspiring countless variations and online versions that preserve its rich cultural heritage.
