The goal of the game is to checkmate the opponent’s king, which means putting it in a position where it is under attack and cannot escape.

Mahjong

Mahjong is a tile-based game played by four players. The goal of the game is to be the first player to complete a hand of 14 tiles that form four melds and a pair. Melds can be either sets (three or four of a kind) or runs (three or more tiles in sequence).
