# Mahjonggen eskuliburua

## Sarrera

Mahjongg is a solitaire (one player) version of the classic Eastern tile game, Mahjongg. It has all the functionality you expect from a tile or card game. You can change the type of tiles, the background, and the difficulty level, among other things, in the Preferences dialog. Other features, like the Pause button, make the game more competitive when you play against the clock.

### Mahjongg-en historia laburra

Mahjongg-en fitxa sortak jatorrizko jokoaren bariazioak sortzeko erabiltzen dira. Magjhongg-en bertsio hau bakarkakoa da. Fitxa bakoitzak bere esanahia du.

Mahjongg's origins are not fully known, but many theories have been put forth. One such theory says that Noah played Mahjongg on the ark because the East hand is dominant, presumably the direction the rains came, in the flood. Another theory says that the Chinese philosopher, Confucius, made the game. The three Cardinal tiles have the same names as his three Cardinal virtues, Chung (middle) the Red, Fa (prosperity) the Green, and Po (white) the White, corresponding with Benevolence, Sincerity, and Filial Piety. Still another theory says that Mahjongg is derived from other Chinese games. Ya Pei is played with 32 cards made of wood or ivory and have the same oblong shape as present day Mahjongg tiles. Ma Tiae is played with 40 paper cards, similar in appearance, numbering 1 to 9 in four different suits along with the flower cards. It has been suggested that two brothers made the game, around 1850 A.D., from a combination of these two games.

1900eko hamarkadaren hasieran, Mahjongg-ean jokatzen hasi ziren Shangaiko klub ingelesetan. Babcock jauna hasi zen Mahjongg-eko fitxak mendebaldera inportatzen. Joko-arauak erraztu zituen, eta fitxetan zenbaki arabiarrak jarri. 1923. urtea izan zen Mahjongg-ek sortutako zoroaldiaren une gorena, eta joko-enpresa garrantzitsuenek (besteak beste, Parker Bros, Milton Bradley eta United States Playing Card-ek) Mahjongg-eko milaka fitxa sorta inportatu zituzten.

Hainbat arau agertu ziren, eta Mah-Jongg jokoaren Estatu Batuetako Lege Ofizialen Normalizaziorako Batzordea (Standardization Comittee of the American Official Laws of Mah-Jongg) sortu zen, 1924an, jokoaren arau-liburua idazteko. Gaur egun, oraindik ere, arau desberdinak erabiltzen dira zenbait klubetan, eta batzuetan lore-fitxak edo komodin-fitxak ere erabiltzen dituzte. Ordenagailurako bertsioetan jokatzen dutenen jakin-mina piztu dute 20. eta 30. hamarkadetan eskuz egindako piezen edertasunak eta xehetasunek, eta fitxen bila hasi dira antigoaleko gauzen dendetan eta merkatuetan. Jokalari berri asko ari dira bakarkako bertsioaren bidez joko tradizional hau ezagutzen, eta pixkanaka-pixkanaka horren korapiloez eta desafioez ohartzen.

Testu honen zati batzuk egokitu egin dira Mah Jong Museoa.n oinarrituta.

## Mahjongg-en jokatzea

You start with five levels of tiles which are stacked so some are covered up by the tiles on top. The harder the level you set in the Preferences dialog, the more tiles are covered when the game starts. The object of Mahjongg is to remove all the tiles from the game. To remove tiles you have to find matching pairs which look alike. A matching tile will usually have the same number of buttons or markings on it or will look similar to each other.

As an example, the highlighted tile, in the figure below, has six buttons. The matching tile is the one which also has six buttons. The tile is on the right-hand end of the third row from the bottom and there is another near the top of the fourth row from the bottom. If you want to match the tile on the top level, you need to look for the tile with the same green bamboo symbols. Do you see a matching tile yet? There are three tiles, which are visible, that match the tile on the top level. Two are to the left and the lower right. The third one is on the top row, but you can't remove that tile yet because the tile isn't on the outside of the stack of tiles. Later you will learn which tiles can be removed and which tiles can't be removed even though they match. Find the other two matching tiles, which are visible, on your own.

### Mahjongg-en leiho nagusia

Leiho nagusia

Mahjongg is played by clicking on two matching tiles that are then removed. Play continues until all the tiles are removed or there are no available pairs.

Maila bakoitzeko eskuin-eskuineko eta ezker-ezkerreko fitxak soilik hauta daitezke, ezin baitira ezker-ezkerrean edo eskuin-eskuinean ez dauden fitxak kendu. Fitxa bikoteak ken daitezke bat datozen fitxak ezker-ezkerrean edo eskuin-eskuinean baldin badaude, nahiz eta maila desberdinetan egon.

If you can't match any more tiles, a dialog will appear telling you no more tiles can be matched and giving you the option of shuffling the tiles (adding an additional 60 seconds penalty to the game clock), starting a new game or undoing your last move (although you may have to undo many more moves to find your mistake).
