Play Chinese Mahjong Online

Chinese Mahjong is a four-player tile game built around drawing, discarding and completing a legal hand. Check this HTML5 build’s scoring screen before treating it as Mahjong Competition Rules.

A common hand structure is four groups and a pair, with groups formed from sequences, triplets or quads. Flowers, special hands and the points needed to win depend on the selected rules.

The previous English name, “Chinese Standard Mahjong,” implied a verified implementation of the formal competition rules. That was not supported by the catalog record, so the name is now the more accurate “Chinese Mahjong.” Full Mahjong Competition Rules use 81 scoring elements and an eight-point minimum; only apply those details if the loaded game explicitly identifies that ruleset.

Read the rules or scoring panel before the first hand. Confirm whether the game uses competition rules, a regional Chinese variant or a simplified house system.

Draw one tile and discard one while building four groups and a pair. Claim a discard only when the rules allow it and when exposing the group helps more than keeping the hand concealed.

Before declaring a win, check both the tile structure and any minimum-score requirement. Do not assume patterns learned from Hong Kong, Sichuan, Taiwanese or Japanese mahjong have the same value here.
