Glossary
MahJong is a game played with tiles, which are similar in function to playing cards. The object is similar to rummy, as players attempt to collect sets and sequences; but in MahJong, values of winning hands can vary wildly. Although descended from ancient Chinese games, MahJong in its current form is only about 100 years old. There are three main systems of rules--Chinese, Japanese, and American--as well as variations within each rule system. The game is for four players, and there are no partnerships.
