Mahjong Taikai

Mahjong is a tile-based game for two to four players. Though regional variations may exclude certain tiles or add unique ones, it is typically played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols. Players hold one of four "wind" positions referred to as the East, South, West, and North. Once each player draws a hand of thirteen tiles, in clockwise order beginning with the "prevailing wind," each player draws a tile, then discards that tile or another from their hand. Players may call to use another player's discarded tile under certain conditions.
