Hello!

Does anybody know a 2-player Mahjong variation? I know only 4-player
game or Mahjong solitaire.
Thank you.
Alex.

There is a 2-player version of "solitaire". The players alternate
taking pairs of tiles until one player cannot find any pairs, that
player passes and the other player tries to find a pair and if the
other player also passes, the game is over. If the other player finds
a pair then the game continues. At the end, the player with the most
pairs wins.

I've heard there is a 2-player version of the 4-player game also, but I
don't know how to play that

cut and paste:

> ii. Taking turns. Each player gets a turn at removing a pair. A player's turn ends when the player removes a pair or the player concedes (cannot see a pair to remove). Game ends when the layout is cleared or unwinnable by mutual agreement. Player with biggest tile pile wins.

If I don't have enough people to play with, I play 2 player Japanese
mahjong against my brother. We make it maximum 20 discards, and scoring
is direct payment. Except, 2 player mahjong is kinda boring, especially
if one person is much better than the other.

And nearly all of the Japanese strip mahjong arcade games on MAME are 2
player, you against the woman, with 18 discards max.

I used to love this game. You reminded me of this game and I teared up... It's really a game worth playing. My brother and I always played it after university. Now we are adults and it is unlikely that my brother will remember this game, but I remember... I want to play it again!

Do you also play mahjong? I didn't understand how to play this game before. But thanks to the advice of my friend, I found this site https://mahjong-games.org/ where you can not only play but also find a lot of interesting information. So if you want to try yourself in this game, I recommend you to visit this page.
