Mobile Mahjong is always played with a set of 144 tiles, based on Chinese characters and symbols. The tiles are divided into different sets: circles, bamboo, characters and honor tiles (dragons and winds). The goal of Mahjong is to create a Mahjong hand by collecting four sets of three tiles and one pair. Players can also create a Mahjong by collecting seven pairs.
Mahjong is traditionally a four-player game, but there are two-player versions of the game available as well. The game starts with the players drawing and discarding tiles until one of them can form a legal hand. The player who can do this first is the winner.
