Mah Jong is a game for four players that originated in China. Mah Jong involves skill, strategy and calculation, as well as a certain degree of chance. Even if you have never played Mah Jong, don’t be afraid to come along – it is a fun and easy game to learn.
We are a small friendly group who welcome newcomers to join us. It is easier to play than it looks, so why not give it a try?
All members of u3a are welcome!
In Asia, Mah Jong is also popularly played as a gambling game. In the game, each player is dealt thirteen tiles in a hand. On their turn, players draw a tile and discard one, with the goal of making four melds (three of a kind or a run of three) and one pair. Winning comes “on the draw”, by drawing a new or discarded tile that completes the hand. Thus a winning hand actually contains fourteen tiles.
