Mah-Jongg

As you gain confidence as a player, you may want to inject more fun and excitement into your mah jongg game. One way you can achieve this is to play variations, and a game that offers this is the 12-Tile Game.

The 12-Tile Game is played exactly the same way as the 13-Tile Game except that each player draws 12 tiles instead of 13. Like a wild card in poker, the 13th tile is an invisible (wild) tile, which can be any matching tile a player wishes to designate in his or her winning hand.

This greatly increases the possible winning combinations, but also requires great concentration and quick matching skills.

Examples:

(1) If the last three tiles in your hand are No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5 Circle tiles, you will have four winning chances:

2) If the last three tiles in your hand are two No. 3s and a No. 6 Circle tiles, you will have six winning chances:

(3) If the last six tiles in your hand are two No. 2s, two No. 3s, No. 4, and No. 5 Circle tiles, you will have six winning chances:
