BSEditor: MahJong (also spelled mahjongg) is a Chinese board game involving skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain degree of luck. There are many variations of this game but basic objective is to build complete suits, usually of threes, from a given set of tiles. MaThjong is Mahjong with a mathematical flavor.

Basic rules of this variant are:

1. The board consists of a number of tiles. Exact number depends on the size of the board, larger board will have more tiles.

4. You are required to remove tiles from the board by selecting three tiles at a time
5. A selected tiles must be open, that is there is no tile on top of it

10. Scoring is done when you play within a given time limit. You can play without any time limit - no scores are kept in this mode.
