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:
> TWO-PLAYER
> Although this game is often referred to as "solitaire," you can easily play it with 2 or more people. There are several ways you can do this:
>
> A. Cooperative. No special rules -- just work the puzzle together.
>
> B. Competitive. Several ways to go here:
>
> i. Speed free-for-all. The two of you attack the layout together, removing pairs. When you remove a pair, put it on your side of the table. At the end (when the layout is clear or unwinnable) the player with the biggest pile of tiles wins.
>
> 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.
>
> iii. Time-limited turns. Get a one-minute timer. Start it at the beginning of each player's turn. Inevitably, some turns will result in a match being removed and some won't. At the end (when the layout is clear or unwinnable) the player with the biggest pile of tiles wins.
