Here's a quick overview of Chinese Mahjong rules—enough to get you started playing:
- 4 players
- 144 tiles [characters/kraks, bamboos, dots, winds, dragons, flowers] - no jokers or blanks
Goal
Be the first to complete a hand of 14 tiles organized into 4 sets and 1 pair (e.g., 3-3-3-3-2).
Basic Tile Sets
1. Pong: Three identical tiles (e.g., 🀇🀇🀇)
2. Chow: A straight of three in the same suit (e.g., 2-3-4 of bamboo)
3. Kong: Four identical tiles (declare it, draw one extra)

- Can only Chow from the player directly before you
