Origins of Mahjong


The game of Mahjong has origins centuries ago. Started in the Asian continent. Had its beginnings when astrologers consulted the stars to discover the future. The astrologers of the time recorded responses or receiving messages from beyond. These records will be made into boards. In these tables you can see the corners but in a way reversed. There were chips on the same board, to be exactly thirteen tabs representing the timing of the moon.

There are very few documents that demonstrate the true origins of Mahjong. Other people say that it originates from the time 500 years before Christ. They say that the boards were represented in the three Chinese dragons, green, white and red.

Other people say it has not so ancient origins and was first played in the kingship of Asia. With the game of Mahjong is as amused by the nobility and the royal family. According to data collected say that originated in 1850 with the combination of a card game and a game of dominoes, and well known at that time. Many people think it originated from the great traditional Chinese card game. This traditional Chinese game consists of forty letters poles just as the Mahjong. That's why we believe it comes from there. They also say that play was very popular in the army, was what the soldiers did to pass the time.

The game is currently played in China is not such a long history of many years that remote if not the century just past. The twentieth century. With globalization, this game came to Europe and from Europe came to the United States. The rules have changed a bit. Early on in the thirties, this game was played mainly by women. This was spreading around the world, the whole world knows this game and like many people already have even invented clubs and leagues to play Mahjong and have tournaments.
