Mahjong is a popular Chinese game that has gained a vast following around the world. The mobile version of Mahjong is played using virtual tiles, and the rules remain essentially unchanged when compared to the physical version. In the game, players match pairs of the same tiles until the grid is completely cleared.
In the official Chinese version, also known as 'Cantonese rules', the game requires four players seated around a square table. Players draw and discard tiles until someone completes their hand and wins the round. Swiss Mahjong follows the same rules, with a slight difference. The Chinese version of the game typically uses bamboo, circles, characters, and winds - but the Swiss version uses a few differently-shaped tiles.
In Swiss Mahjong, two players can play, and the game is usually completed in about half the time it would take to finish a classic Chinese round. There are also a few differences in the rules when it comes to how players draw and discard tiles.
