How to play Traditional Mahjong
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.

Why it is worth playing
What keeps Traditional Mahjong worth returning to is how quickly a single round resolves. It respects your time — you are never more than a click from another attempt. A browser game does not need to be more than that.
