California Mahjong is Chinese Mahjong but uses the simplified scoring system known as California Mahjong, based on the British, Hong Kong, and Shanghai games.  Like the original Chinese Mahjong, it does not use the a card to follow.  Only American Mahjong uses a card that changes each year. California Mahjong is a bit like Gin Rummy with a captivating and culturally rich game that will challenge your brain for life, while building and enjoying new friendships!
