Mahjong is an ancient game from the Chinese culture, and like other oriental board games, it has evolved through several different versions over the centuries. The most popular version today is the Chinese Mahjong, which has been simplified and is one of the easiest versions to learn and play.

Mahjong is also known as Mahjong Gumen ( Mahjong meaning good fortune) and is played with a deck of 52 cards consisting of seven types of tiles, which are also spread over a number of rows and columns. This Mahjong game consists of seven suites of flowers, which are used in laying out the tiles in the layout of the game. There are two kinds of mahjong games: free-tiles and Mahjong solitaire. In free-tiles, you have to remove duplicate tiles and place them in a bag, which is passed around to the players and when all the tiles are removed, the player with the highest hand wins.

In Mahjong solitaire, the game is for one player. The object of the game is to eliminate all the tiles by matching their color and shape with those of the cards that are laid out before them in the same layout. The game can be won by eliminating all the tiles by using the right colored tiles. The best strategy to use in mahjong games is to build your rack of tiles so that you can lay them out in a sequence that will eventually lead to the elimination of the last tile that will result in a win.
