Mahjong, a traditional Chinese game, involves creating sequences with tiles. Players strategically draw and discard tiles, aiming to complete sets like Pongs (three identical tiles) and Chows (three consecutive tiles of the same suit). The winning objective often includes a sequence called the “Basic Hand,” comprising Chows and a pair. Beyond this, more intricate sequences elevate the challenge. The “Honors and Knitted Tiles Hand” combines honor tiles and suits. The ultimate “Thirteen Orphans” sequence encompasses one of each honor tile plus one of each terminal tile. Successfully assembling these sequences demands tactical prowess, pattern recognition, and adaptability, making Mahjong an engaging and time-honored game.
