1870

Mahjong is a traditional Chinese tile-based game developed in the 19th century during the Qing dynasty. Typically played with four players, the objective is to build a winning 14-tile hand composed of four melds (combinations of pungs, kongs, or chows) and a pair. The standard set consists of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, including suited tiles, honors (winds and dragons), and bonus flower and season tiles.
