Mah Jong is divided into two different history timelines, before 1920 and after 1920. There is recorded history of the game being played before 1920's but the rules from ancient civilization were not entirely translated correctly into different languages after 1920's.
Prior to 1920 Reports of the source of Mah Jong vary. Some stories suggest the Chinese played this game around 1120 AD. Other stories suggest it originated around 500BC during the time of Confucius. A beautiful maiden was living in the King's court and she invented the game during her seclusion from others.
Not everyone was allowed to participate in playing the game. It was a game of royalty. A common person was decapitated if caught playing this game.
Around 1920 when this ban was lifted, Joseph P. Babcock introduced the game to America. He coined the name Mah-Jongg and created wrote the rules we play by today.
After the 1920's The game has become the craze of the West. Many of the earliest games reflect card games we play today. Taking after the card game solitaire, It is played very much the same. In fact, the game is also known as Mah Jong Solitaire. The Chinese word Mah Jong translates into "clattering sparrow". This explains the pictures on the tiles that make up the unique playing of the game.
Britian and Japan have included Mah Jong Games in their board game entertainment. Their rules deviate some what from America's but the outcome is the same. Skill and technique will help in winning at this exciting game.
It is amazing to know the games we have been playing were actually in existence many, many years ago. Ancient civilized people entertained themselves the same way.
