Mahjong (Fla-Gjongg)

Mahjong is a type of solitaire and one of the world's oldest games. It appeared in the homeland of paper and silk and gradually spread throughout the world. A separate subgenre of manga, invented in 1814 by the Japanese artist Hokusai and gaining many admirers over the years, is devoted to Shanghai solitaire, another name for mahjong. In Russia, Chinese dominoes, a third name for mahjong, became popular in the last decade.
