“It is not the game I play most, but over the last 30 years it is the one I have been playing most consistently.”
I wish I had a really cool and clever game that I could point out as my favourite game. And as a full-time game designer I guess it would make sense to pick one of my own games. But having to choose a single game as my favourite, I have to pick Mahjong. It is not the game I play the most, but over the last 30 years it is the one I have been playing most consistently. Most people know the game from the solitaire version you can play online or as an app but that’s not it. It is a four-player game that takes two to three hours playing. You might have seen it in movies where it appears in one of two settings: a) a bunch of old women playing, or b) a bunch of frantic Chinese guys playing (they probably do it faster than two or three hours).
