Question

Can I draw to a pair?

Lola Wright

Community Answer

Yes, but they have to have an open side. Like two "@@", they have to be on the edge, so to speak.

It depends how you play, but generally the winner receives points and no one else.

How are neutral tiles played?

Community Answer

You can turn them into anything you need them to be, kind of like the joker in typical Western card games.

Question

How do you play this with 3 players?

Joyce Chen

Community Answer

You can set it up exactly as before, and play with three players. There isn't much of a difference, I've tried it many times with my family when someone chickens out.

Question

Can you play Mah Jongg with just two players?

Kerstin Stadtfeld

Community Answer

Yes, you can play with two players. Each player builds two walls, one against each pusher. Alternatively, you can skip building walls and pick from the shuffled tiles in the center of the mat.
