Game Groups > Genre: Card / Tile game - Mahjong

Computer game adaptations of the Chinese game mahjong (historically written 麻雀, maque, also meaning "sparrow"; modern Mandarin Chinese uses 麻将, majiang, instead) - a multi-player competitive game of building complete suits of patterns.

Outside of Asia, the name mahjong is also often used for an unrelated solitaire tile-matching game created by Brodie Lockard. Implementations of that game are collected in the Shanghai / Solitare mahjongg game group.

See also: Card / Tile game - Shisen-Sho / Four Rivers, which is a different game often played with mahjong tiles. Please note that Four Rivers is not the same as the Sichuan Mahjong rule set (even though Sichuan's direct English translation is"Four Rivers".)
