How to play Mahjong

The History of Mahjong game can only be traced back to the latter part of 1890 in the area of Ning Po (China). As the
game spread through China different regions adopted the game, each with its own unique set of rules. Shortly after the

suggestion of the British engineer named Walker to add Arabic numbers to the tiles/mahjong to distinguish each tile and
make the game easier to play.
