Better than poker

So I assume that most of you know what poker is. And when I say you know what poker is, I mean you have a general idea on how to play. Also that you know it is a gambling game. However, I have found an even better game to play. It also is a gambling game, but can be equally fun without the part with you losing money. This wonderful game is called Mahjong! Although, this game can only be played with four people, so I guess it kinda sucks if you have more or less people to play Mahjong. The rules are sorta complicated, but it's fairly easy to get used to them.

If I can, I really hoping to see if anyone I know would be interested, then I'll know whether or not I should buy a set of tiles. Until then, I can only recommend it. And just in case some people aren't quite sure what Mahjong is, I'll give a very brief description. As many of you may have seen, on your computers, there used to be this game where you have a bunch of tiles put together in some sort of manner, like a pyramid. Your objective was to match up tiles, that could be removed without moving another tile, or something along those lines... I never played it much. Anyways, Mahjong is played with those very same tiles. I don't know what that game was called, but I can guarantee it is not Mahjong.

Anyways, moving on with some basic rules. First of all you build a box-ish like structure with the tiles. Essentially everyone builds a wall that is about 16 or 18 (depends on how many tiles you have in your set, I think) tiles long and 2 tiles tall. You put the walls together to get your box. Then, after deciding who is first, you go in a counter-clockwise order and everyone takes 4 tiles at a time until everyone has 12 tiles. Once everyone has their tiles, the game starts. While playing it's pretty close to pick up a tile, and discard another, until you have a winning hand. Although, there's many more rules to the game than I have described, it would take a really long time to explain. If you are interested, you can either look it up on Wikipedia and hope that works for you, or you can let me know, if there are enough people interested, I'll buy a set, and I'll explain then.

Although, it may seem complicated, once you get the rules and learn how to play, it's a lot of fun to play.
