Playing Mahjong Playing Mahjong Online

As more and more games start to be internet based, board game players may want to start taking a look at online websites as a means to get their fix. Mahjong, in particular, has found itself many new homes online, with many websites hosting the game for free. A few sites simply require an email registration or for you to make an account, but those are trivial steps to a true Mahjong junkie.

In the theme of online gaming, there are many popular aspects of playing Mahjong online. One of these aspects is that the time to setup a game is nonexistent. Rather than stacking tiles and having to clean them up afterwards, one can just hop into a room and start playing with the online versions. So, that means low maintenance and all you have to do is download the software. Sounds easy, right? It really is!

In my search for sites that have stable, well made versions of Mahjong, I have come across several outstanding sites that host the game. I judged the sites I came across by how smoothly the game transitioned, as well as how long it took to setup a game. In my experience, there are many sites that the game can be played on, but only a select few that were also visually appealing and lacking in glitches. These sites run on the software Mahjong Logic and include Mahjongworld.com, eMahjong.net, i-mahjong.com, DragonKong.com, AllStarMahjong.com, Mahjong Express and Mahjong Club. These state-of-the-art websites offer three popular variations of the ancient Chinese game.

One of the rule sets on these sites is that of the classic Chinese set. However, the name is a bit misleading, as there were dozens of sets of rules when the game was first allowed to be played in public. To win in the classical Chinese set, a hand where all your tiles form four sets, plus one pair, must be made.

There are many variations of Mahjong play styles that can be found online. You will find the Solitaire version and then actual multiplayer versions online at various sites, and with Mahjong Logic site’s downloadable software, there are rooms for multiplayer games that you can play Mahjong in. This cuts out a ton of time for having to set up the game in real life and find a steady group of friends to play with. Whereas online, you simply join a public game after registering at the site, and you can instantly join matches and start playing!

While many sites may have lag issues or, in one scenario I encountered, crash your browser (The horror!), Mahjong Logic software never disappoints. As of this article being written, the software runs flawlessly, takes no time at all to install, and did not come bundled with browser ravaging toolbars and pop-ups. I would definitely recommend this software to the avid Mahjong player.

The multiplayer version offered at these sites will add another level of challenge when competing against other players. The ever-shifting and creative visual displays that the software has to offer can keep the most experienced Mahjong players both content and on their toes with the multiplayer games offered. I would definitely recommend giving this software a try. You will not be disappointed!
