Introduction to Mahjong

Mahjong is a board game that was originated in China but the exact date of origin of this game is unknown. The oldest records related to the game were found from Shanghai, China and this was in the 18th century. The game was introduced to the Western world in the 19th century and it is James Babcock who brought the game to United States. Babcock also wrote a book on Mahjong rules and strategies which are still considered as the best resource for a newcomer to learn the game. Interestingly, the original version of Mahjong is not played in China today but Chinese play a modified version of the original game.

Surprisingly, many people believe that Mahjong is a game that is completely associated with your luck and winning the game needs a lot of luck. One can’t deny that your chances play a major role in Mahjong but with the right gaming strategies, you can improve your position and advance in the game even better. There are some simple game strategies such as;

Keep Your Tiles Together – This is pretty important when you’re playing Mahjong because separating your tiles will give your opponents an idea on how close you are to win the game. If you can keep this information a secret, you have higher chances of obtaining the required pieces and finish your game faster.

Flower Tiles – It is not uncommon in Mahjong that players hand over flower tiles assuming that these tiles are of no use. Well, it may be true that these ties are useless for you but there will be some players in the line who badly need a flower tile to arrange his/her set. By not giving away your flower tile, you probably are blocking someone else’s chance to win the game, a good strategy to keep in mind.
