Mahjong is an ancient Chinese board game that is played in many modern forms all around the world. In Montenegro, Mahjong is played according to the Chinese Official Mahjong rules, as it is generally played in East Asia. This game is played with a set of 144 tiles and is typically played with four players. The game is divided into four rounds, and players build walls of tiles, called a “hand”, in an attempt to form a winning combination before the other players.
Each player draws a set of 13 tiles at the beginning of the game. The tiles are divided into three suits: the Circles, the Bamboos, and the Characters. The Circles and the Bamboos are divided into four sets of nine tiles, while the Characters are divided into four sets of four tiles. The aim of the game is to form a “winning hand” – a set of 14 tiles made up of four sets of three tiles: one set of three circles, one set of three bamboos, one set of three characters, and one set of three “honors” tiles that include winds and dragons.
The rules for Mahjong in Montenegro vary slightly depending on the house rules and the specific type of Mahjong being played. Generally, the rules of Mahjong involve drawing and discarding tiles, forming sets of tiles, and calling for tiles from other players. The game can be won by either drawing the winning hand at the start of the game or by calling a tile to complete the winning hand.
