And The Mahjong Guide is the greatest guide about mahjong in the internet.
What Wikipedia is thinking about Mahjong?
Mahjong (?? má jiàng) is a game for four players that originated in China. It was called ?? má què, meaning sparrow in ancient China, which is still the name most commonly used in some southern Chinese dialects such as Cantonese and Minnan, as well as in Japanese. However, most Mandarin-speaking Chinese now call the game má jiàng (??).
Mahjong involves skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain degree of luck (depending on the variation played, luck can be anything from a minor to a dominant factor in winning). In Asia, mahjong is also popularly played as a gambling game. In the game, each player is dealt either thirteen or sixteen tiles in a hand, depending on the variation being played. On their turn, players draw a tile and discard one, with the goal of making four or five melds (also depending on the variation) and one pair, or "head". Winning comes "on the draw" by drawing a new or discarded tile that completes the hand. Thus, a winning hand actually contains fourteen (or seventeen) tiles.
Mahjong Strategy
Of course, it's not that simple. If you've just started playing mahjong solitaire you will have quickly found that if you just remove the first matching pairs you see, it won't take long before there are no more tiles you can remove.
This is because if you don't remove the right tiles, then tiles will get stuck.
For example, if you have 2 'A' tiles on top of each other, then you have to be very careful about how you remove the other 'A' tiles. If you remove the other tiles together, then the 2 on top of each other will be left at the end of the game. You won't be able to select the lower tile, and you wont be able to finish the game.
There are many advanced ways of analyzing the layout, making sure that this doesn't happen. But when you are starting out, you don't want to spend hours analyzing before you make your moves, you just want to get going!
Well, I have 2 strategies for you, that will help you finish some mahjong solitaire games. They won't make you an expert, but if you are struggling to finish a game, they should definitely help.
The first thing, is to watch for 4 of a tile being playable at once. If you see this, you should remove the 4 tiles immediately.
Why?
Because you know that there are no more of those tiles in the layout. So removing them can't leave other tiles unplayable. *You can guarantee that this move will be correct, and won't block the game.*
Another strategy is relevant when 3 of a tile are visible.
