About

Mahjong Rummy is a gambling game for 4 players. Each player gets 20 tiles at the start of a game. 32 tiles are left over and are unused for the rest of the game. Players try to be the first to get rid of all their tiles, and if none can achieve this, the winner is the player with the least points left in their hand. Numbered tiles score according to their face value. J, Q and K score 10. Aces score 15. On a player's first turn, he/she must play a straight flush from his/her hand (at least three tiles of the same suit in sequence, jokers allowed). After that players can play any meld (at least three of a same number of any suit, or at least three numbers of the same suit in sequence) or add to other players' melds. Mahjong Rummy has 112 tiles - 2 sets of 4 suits from Two to Ace (2 x 4 x 13 = 104), plus 8 jokers.
