Video Game Reviews of Emperor's Mahjong

Customer Review: This is NOT mahjong! Read if you want to learn about REAL Chinese mahjong.
Summary: 1 Stars

Emperor's Mahjong, like many other tile matching computer games, call themselves mahjong even though they're not. They are mahjong SOLITAIRE.

The REAL mahjong which actual Chinese people play in real life is a very different game, similar to the card games Gin Rummy and Canasta. REAL mahjong is for 4 people and has much more skill involved.

In REAL 4 player mahjong, each person is dealt out 13 mahjong tiles, and they take turns drawing and discarding tiles in an attempt to achieve a winning hand of 4 MELDS and 1 PAIR. There are 3 types of melds: TRIPLE (eg 777), QUAD (eg 5555), and SEQUENCE (eg 789). You can also meld off other people's discards.

This winning hand can also contain special hand combinations which increase its scoring value, eg. a MELD of any dragon, MELD of your player wind, a Pure Hand (everything same suit) etc.

And the person who has the highest score at the end of 4 wind rounds is 1st place.

If you want to buy a REAL 4 player mahjong game, check out "Mah Jong Parlour" or "Hong Kong Mahjong" by Nine Dragons software.

And before/after you mark this review as "NOT HELPFUL", why don't you actually bother learning to play the REAL 4 player mahjong instead of just playing American computer solitaire? How about asking your Chinese family friends to teach you? Or going to your local library for REAL mahjong books?

You won't regret it.
