mahjong
A game for four players that originated in China. A very popular gambling game in east Asia, comparable to poker in the West. The object is to score points by forming certain combinations of tiles. Mahjong solitaire was widely distributed on computers in the 1980s, leading to some confusion between it and the original multiplayer version.
