Draw a tile,<br>throw a tile away. If the guy before you throws away a tile that lets<br>you make a straight, you can take it. If anyone throws away a tile <br>that lets you make 3 of a kind or 4 of a kind, you can take it. <br>Certain combos, based on relative rarity/difficulty, score really <br>high points. A finished hand is basically 4 sets (set: 3 of kind<br>or 3 in a row) with a pair to finish it. <br><br>If we play together on VC, I think everyone could learn the rules <br>pretty quick; the biggest obstacle is finding a day and time that <br>everyone can set aside 1-3 hours away for. <br><br>Until we can find 4 people to play a game of mahjong, I suggest people<br>can play Rummy on cardgames.io to warm up in smaller groups (2-3) :<br>it tickles the same part of the brain.
