like many other traditional games. there are a wide variety of forms of Mahjong that makes things somewhat difficult for anyone trying to find a set of rules.
The first set of rules given are based on the original Chinese game which perhaps is the easiest and most skillful rule.
Also given are the rules for the British game, this version differs slightly from the Chinese game because only one chow is allowed per hand and the Chinese game has fewer "special hands".
Some may find the British game more interesting than the Chinese game but the Chinese game is more elegant and traditional.
Both games differ significantly from the typical style of game preferred in the USA, where a large and more complicated set of special hands have been involved beyond the initial Chinese set and where the players can not go mahjong with only one set in the hand.
It is also more strategic than the Japanese style of game because it is essential to be the first person to go mahjong.
