Mah Jong
Mahjong is a traditional Chinese tile-based game that is played with four players. The objective of the game is to create sets and runs of tiles to score points.

The wall is broken by removing the tiles to the right of the break point, and the wall is separated into two sections. 4. Dealing the Tiles: Starting with the dealer, each player takes turns counterclockwise to draw four tiles from the wall, one at a time. This process is repeated until each player has 12 tiles. Then, each player takes one more tile to have a total of 13 tiles. 5. Building Your Hand: Players take turns to draw and discard tiles, aiming to create sets and runs.
