Mahjong is a game for four players that originated in China. It was called, meaning sparrow in ancient China, which is still the name most commonly used in some southern Chinese dialects such as Cantonese and Minnan, as well as in Japanese. However, most Mandarin-speaking Chinese now call the game má jiàng.
Mahjong involves skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain degree of luck (depending on the variation played, luck can be anything from a minor to a dominant factor in winning). In Asia, mahjong is also popularly played as a gambling game. In the game, each player is dealt either thirteen or sixteen tiles in a hand, depending on the variation being played. On their turn, players draw a tile and discard one, with the goal of making four or five melds (also depending on the variation) and one pair, or "head". Winning comes "on the draw" by drawing a new or discarded tile that completes the hand. Thus, a winning hand actually contains fourteen (or seventeen) tiles.
The tarot is a pack of cards (most commonly numbering 78), used from the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play a group of card games such as Italian tarocchini and French tarot. From the late 18th century until the present time the tarot has also found use by mystics and occultists in efforts at divination or as a map of mental and spiritual pathways.
Tarot Uranai: This is a Major Arcana-only, Japanese deck. I am told that Uranai means divination.The colors are among the most intense of any deck I own. They are almost fluorescent. The cards measure 2 1/5/16" X 5". They feel fairly thick, seem to be plastic coated and are very glossy. The cards have the traditional names except for the Fool, which is called The Challenger. An oddity is that every card name is preceded by the word "the." While most of the names work well with "the," The Strength, The Justice, The Death, The Temperance, and The Judgment sound a bit strange. It could be a translation problem.Strength is eight and Justice is eleven.
