Mahjong is a traditional tile-based game originating in 19th-century China that has gained worldwide popularity since the early 20th century. Typically played by four players—though three-player variations exist in regions like China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Southeast Asia—mahjong has become a cultural staple across East and Southeast Asia and has also found a devoted following in Western countries. The game has since evolved into a popular online pastime as well. Much like the Western card game rummy, mahjong combines skill, strategy, and an element of luck. To distinguish it from mahjong solitaire, it is often referred to as mahjong rummy. With its rich history and adaptability, mahjong remains a timeless game enjoyed by millions around the globe.
