How do you set up mah jongg?
Four players, one rack each, a wall 19 tiles long and two high, then dice to break the wall and deal. See how to set up mahjong.
American vs Chinese mahjong set: what's the difference?
American sets add jokers and follow the yearly card. Chinese sets have 144 tiles and no jokers, so they don't work for American hands.

The classic game is for four, but two-player (siamese) and three-player versions are popular. Siamese mahjong uses longer siamese racks.
