Thanks! I've seen so many people playing this game but I had no idea how to do it myself. They always make it look like such an interesting, involved game, but it's so hard to tell what's going on when the pieces aren't even in English. Thanks!

This is a very colourful game and I have spent many years playing it with my friends. Now however I only play it on the net. I play mahjong solitaire a lot and specially when I am tired.

I have played it and yes it does involve skill in matching the cards. You need to make matches strategically so that all cards can be matched or one can end up with matching cards on stacks beneath. The ones I played were time bound.

I started playing this game in college when a friend who was addicted to it taught me how to play. While I really enjoyed the game, I haven't played it in a very long time. I'd love to try it again though.

Mahjong solitaire on the Net does not require too much skill - but it is a good relaxing game and takes the stress out of your mind. It does require a certain amount of skill - and there seem to be a lot of players who have achieved high scores in this.

I'd really want to learn Mahjong! In our place, older people usually play that game. Young mahjong players are rare.

Is it really hard to learn? I want to try it out and maybe teach my friends how to play it so we can have more fun. I'm tired of playing cards.

Start by playing Mahjong Solitaire on the Net. It will teach you about the different tiles and you will then later be able to play in multi player games.
It is bright and colourful and requires a basic level of skill - but does not tax your brains too much.
