Mahjong is played by four players with a set of 136 tiles. These tiles work similar to playing cards: There are three suits with numbered tiles from 1 to 9, and some suitless honor tiles. There are four copies of each individual tile in the set. | Mahjong is played by four players with a set of 136 tiles.
