Mah jongg is the 4-player Chinese tile game that took America by storm in the 1920s.  One of the things that differentiate American mah jongg from all the other versions is the use of jokers.  Only one of the ten categories on the card require jokers – Quints.  All the other categories on the card can be played without them.
