A game of skill, strategy, and calculation and involves a degree of chance. A 4 player game played with 144 tiles based on Chinese characters & symbols similar to rummy but played with tiles. The game of Mahjong involves drawing & discarding tiles in order to form different melds for going out to win the game. Even though the winner of the hand gets the points from the other players, forming the best melds is as important as winning in this game as scoring depends on the content of the hand. If we consider a play where 16 hands are played then each players final result is calculated on adding the cumulative points scores for each hand.
