Mahjong, which has other english spellings including Mah Jong, Mahjongg, Mah-Jongg etc, is a game that originated in China. It is a game of skill, strategy, intelligence, calculation and luck. Depending on the variation which is played, luck can be anything from a minor to a dominant factor in success. In Asia, Mahjong is extremely popular. It is also becoming more popular all the time in the western world, especially online.
The object of traditional Mahjong is to build complete suits (usually of threes) from either 13 or 16 tiles. The first person to achieve this goal is said to have won the game. The winning tile completes the set of either 14 or 17 tiles.
