The
Game
 Mahjong
is a game for four players that originated in China. Mahjong
involves skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain
degree of chance. Depending on the variation which is played,
luck can be anything from a minor to a dominant factor in
success. In Asia, mahjong is also popularly played as a gambling
game. In the game, each player is dealt either thirteen or
sixteen tiles in a hand (depending on the variation being
played). On their turn, players draw a tile and discard one,
with the goal of making four or five melds (also depending
on the variation) and one pair, or "head". Winning
comes "on the draw", by drawing a new or discarded
tile that completes the hand. Thus a winning hand actually
contains fourteen (or seventeen) tiles. CLick
