How It Works:
Tiles: There are 144 tiles, and they have different designs, like circles, bamboo, and Chinese characters.
Matching Sets: The goal is to collect sets of tiles, like three of the same kind or a straight (like 1, 2, 3).
Taking Turns: Players pick up and get rid of tiles, trying to complete a winning hand before anyone else.
Winning: When a player has the right sets, they say "Mahjong!" and win the round!
