Mahjong is how much of Yunnan spends its evenings and weekends, in living rooms, teahouses and card rooms, to the clatter of shuffled tiles.
- Good for:
- Families, groups of four, board-game fans
A local family or a teahouse regular teaches you the tiles and the local rules at a real table, over tea and sunflower seeds, until you can play a full round on your own.
Etiquette and what to know
Rules differ from city to city, and from any version you know at home; you learn the local one. We play for points, not money. Give it a few rounds before it clicks.
