Classic Mahjong

Classic Mahjong is the traditional Chinese four-player game played with 136 tiles: three suits (bamboo, characters and dots) plus honor tiles. The goal is to be the first to complete a winning hand of 14 tiles — four melds and a pair. This site uses a practical subset of the International Standard (Guobiao) fan list, and any legal winning hand counts at least 1 fan, so beginners can win from their very first game.
