Three-player mahjong
Variant of mahjong for fewer players
Three-player mahjong
Three-player mahjong is an umbrella term for mahjong variants for three players. Three-player mahjong has its own rules and idiosyncrasies that place it apart from the more standard four-player variants. The equipment used and the basic mechanisms are much like four-player variations although some tiles are sometimes removed, certain plays are prohibited and the scoring system is sometimes simplified. Three-player mahjong is played mostly in Japan, Korea and Malaysia. This article focuses on rules from the earlier two (Japan/Korea) while other variations are covered in the following section. The rules given below are the most commonly used rules in Korean/Japanese three-player mahjong while optional house rules (extra rules which groups may opt to use) are listed afterwards. There are numerous possible house rules, which can be used to make three-player mahjong as simple or complex as players prefer.
