The classical Chinese game Majiang (麻将) is here implemented as a single player game against three computer players, using Javascript and SASS. Play it here.
- Human player is seated at the bottom position of the table.
- Double-click to discard a tile.
- Click on human player’s seat wind icon to choose another avatar.
- Sort tiles on hand by dragging for custom organization. Restore automatic ordering by clicking the sort icon ☰ above the seat wind icon.
- 8 fan (番) needed to win. If you have a crappy hand, meld whatever you can and hope for a single or other wait.
- You are supposed to deal with the hand dealt to you, but there’s always the escape key.
- You can play it on your phone, if you have good eyes and precision touch…
New to Majiang? Just tag along and see what’s happening, then read the rules (conforming to Standard Majiang, or 国标麻将 guoji majiang). You’ll quickly pick up the basics. The hard part is recognizing the winning combinations.
Bots are currently not very intelligent, but nevertheless employ a simple and surprisingly efficient strategy. They will probably beat you.
