Wooden Mahjong Board Game

Mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and calculation which also involves a degree of chance. The game is of Chinese origin and is usually played by four players with 144 domino-like tiles that are drawn and discarded until one player secures a winning hand. The object of play is similar to that of the Rummy card games, due to the presence of groups of tiles called melds that form the “legal”, or winning, hands. The name was coined by J. P. Babcock, who introduced the game to the West after World War I. Our handmade wooden Mahjong game comes with beautifully colored print symbols on the tile pieces and a wooden box. This Chinese Mahjong set includes 144 tiles and does not include 8 joker tiles.
