Mahjong

The group meets on the 1st Friday of the month at 1400-1600 in the Scout & Guide HQ.

Mahjong is game played in groups of 4.

Numbers are low and at the next mahjong session on September 2nd we will need to discuss future meetings, if any.

The group is small and friendly, new members are always welcome with someone available to help if you haven't played before.

Mahjong is a game for four players that originated in China. Mahjong involves skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain degree of chance. In Asia, mahjong is also popularly played as a gambling game. In the game, each player is dealt either thirteen or sixteen tiles in a hand (depending on the variation being played). On their turn, players draw a tile and discard one, with the goal of making four or five melds (also depending on the variation) and one pair, or "head". Winning comes "on the draw", by drawing a new or discarded tile that completes the hand. Thus a winning hand actually contains fourteen (or seventeen) tiles.
