Mah-Jong is a game of both skill and luck that originated in China many centuries ago. It was brought to the West in the 1920s and is played with four players seated around a table. Tiles are shuffled, dice are cast, and rituals involving the allocation and then the exchange of tiles begin. The first person to gather a hand of 14 tiles with five combinations and call “Mah-Jong” ends the game, whereupon tiles are scored and a winner is declared. This course introduces the beginner to the basic rules and simple strategies. Learn to play this enjoyable, social and thought-provoking game that develops pattern recognition and improves memorization, concentration and cognitive performance. Most importantly, it’s fun!
