After mahjong was invented in China in the mid-1800's – see the slightly more elaborate history of the game in the Chinese Classical section on this web site – it evolved differently in different parts of China, and then yet again into even more forms when spreading further into other countries in Asia and then the West during the 1900's.
In this way, about two dozen recognized “main” variants of the game came to exist: in the regions of mainland China, and in Japan, the USA, Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia and so on. The result was that unlike in bridge, backgammon or FIDE-style chess, or more recently in poker, people from different parts of the world or even from different parts of China could not easily play against each other but were forced to adapt to the local rules.

The “Classical Chinese game” is a bit of a misnomer, as there never was a standardized set of rules when mahjong was first invented in China in the mid-1800's and then spread around the country, and after the turn of the century 1900 overseas to other countries. Instead the game developed gradually and was played with slightly differing rules in different regions. The following rule set and scoring system however represent a fair picture of how mahjong was played during its first golden age, in the 1920's when the game also reached the West and spread like wildfire – and, indeed, of how many hundreds of thousands of Europeans still play it today.

We offer the following types of games:

• Single Hand - A Single Hand Game is a quick one-hand game where the monetary settlement is done at the end of each hand. A single hand of mahjong is played without having to consider the traditional point calculations; the player that declares mahjong wins the combined table wager. This option can be played by 2, 3 or 4 players. Players pay their bet if the win is on self-draw. In case of a win on discard, the discarding player pays double and the other players pay half.
• Full Game - A Full Game is divided into a number of rounds (two for riichi, and four for classic and competition rules). In each round every player will play at least once in each wind (in riichi and classic games, the play will repeat in case of washout). These games are not regularly scheduled; they simply begin when all four seats are filled. The winner wins all the money in the pot (less rake).
• Multi-table tournament - Multi-table tournaments are announced with a set start time. You can register for a tournament by paying the buy-in and the entrance fee. When the tournament starts, you will automatically be placed at the initial table. A tournament consists of a series of games which are time limited, using the same rules as in a Full Game. Each game ends after a set amount of time. The normal table point distribution is 1st Place: 4 points, 2nd: 2p, 3rd: 1p, 4th: 0p. The player with the largest total of table points wins the tournament and the money is distributed according to the payout structure that is presented in the tournament info.
