Torres is a German-style board game designed by Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling and published in 1999 by FX Schmid in German and by Rio Grande Games in English.
 The game strongly influenced Kramer and Kiesling's Mask Trilogy of games, but is not considered to be a part of the trilogy.
 The game has since been reprinted (in 2005).
Microsoft Mahjong (formerly Mahjong Titans and Taipei) is a computer game version of mahjong solitaire published by Microsoft.
 The version titled "Mahjong Titans" was developed by Oberon Games and included in Windows Vista and Windows 7 (except Starter and Home Basic editions).
 It takes advantage of the new graphical user interface (GUI) of Windows Vista, and includes features such as tile set and background choices.
 (In Windows Vista builds 5219, 5231 and 5259, the game was known as "Shanghai Solitaire".)
 The game did not make it to Windows 8; however, a standalone version, developed by Arkadium and published by Microsoft Studios, can be downloaded from the Windows Store free of charge.
The "Saki" animated television series is based on the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Ritz Kobayashi.
 The episodes were produced by the animation studios Gonzo and Picture Magic, directed by Manabu Ono, and written by Tatsuhiko Urahata.
 The story follows the titular character Saki Miyanaga, a skilled mahjong player who joins her high school's mahjong club despite previously hating the game.
 There, she makes friends with other mahjong players and heads into the world of competitive mahjong.
 The episodes aired in Japan between April 6 and September 28, 2009 on TV Tokyo and concluded with 25 episodes.
 The first DVD compilation volume was released on July 15, 2009 by Pony Canyon.
 The DVD release also included seven picture drama episodes.
Mahjong solitaire is a solitaire matching game that uses a set of mahjong tiles rather than cards.
 It is also known as Shanghai solitaire, electronic or computerized mahjong, solitaire mahjong and simply as "mahjong".
 The tiles come from the four-player game mahjong.
Competition Mahjong, also known as Guóbiāo Májiàng (simplified Chinese: 国标麻将, "National Standard Mahjong"), is an international standard of rules and scoring criteria for mahjong founded by the All-China Sports Federation in July 1998 and supported by some mahjong societies, mostly in Asia.
 Many tournaments have adopted this standard and some mahjong societies exclusively use this scoring system for all play.
 It is characterised by dozens of possible combinations and a rather complex and inventive set of patterns.
 In effect, it mixes the scoring rules of several different mahjong variations.
 The game play is otherwise quite similar to Old Hong Kong Mahjong.
4 Nin Uchi Mahjong (４人打ち麻雀 , lit.
 "Four Player Strike Mahjong") is a Family Computer video game about mahjong.
 It was only released in Japan using the Japanese language and it was Nintendo's second mahjong game ever made.
Japanese Mahjong (Japanese: 麻雀, 麻将 or マージャン; "mājan"), also known as Rīchi Mahjong, is a variation of mahjong.
 While the basic rules to the game are retained, the variation features a unique set of rules such as "rīchi" and the use of "dora".
 The main mahjong article contains general terms, but only English and Japanese terms are used here.
 Terms like "chow," "pung," and "kong" are not used in this variation, yet their functions are still used.
 Instead, they are referred to in Japanese as "chī", "pon", and "kan".
Mahjong ( , ] ) is a tile-based game that originated in China during the Qing dynasty.
 It is commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in South Korea and Japan).
 The game and its regional variants are widely played throughout Eastern and South Eastern Asia and have a small following in Western countries.
 Similar to the Western card game rummy, Mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and calculation and involves a degree of chance.
American mahjong, also spelled mah jongg, is a variant of the Chinese game mahjong.
 It is distinct from Asian mahjong in several ways.
 American mahjong utilizes racks to hold each player's tiles, jokers, and "Hands and Rules" score cards.
 It has several distinct gameplay mechanics such as "The Charleston", which is a set of required passes, and optional passing of the tiles.
A Mahjong video game is a video game that is based on the classical Chinese game mahjong.
 However, many mahjong video games, especially among those released in Western territories, do not depict the actual game of mahjong but rather mahjong solitaire.
