Learn the general concept and objective of Hong Kong Mahjong.
The objective of the game is to turn your hand of tiles into matching sets before the other players. Hong Kong Mahjong can be a fast-paced game and full of strategy, but is also easy to play once you learn the basics.
Four players sit around a table, with each seat named after a direction. The player that is "East" is the dealer and plays first, and the order of play is counter-clockwise.
Draw one tile, improve your hand if you can, then discard one tile. Players can also pick up tiles discarded from other players in certain situations.
A Hong Kong Mahjong hand starts with East, South, West, and North seated around one shared table.
Hong Kong Mahjong is a race to complete a legal hand through drawing, discarding, and calling tiles.
