The tile-based game, commonly played by four players, was developed in the 19th century in China, and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century. Similar to the card game rummy, Mahjongg is a game of skill, strategy, and luck, and is often referred to as Mahjongg rummy, or Chinese dominos.
