About the game

Mhing is a classic card game based on Mah Jong, and at first glance it looks like rummy: whomever can put all their cards in sequences or sets makes "Mhing". However, players can really only win if they make as many valuable card combinations as possible. Players have a choice: to be finished and make "Mhing" quickly -- or to form rare and valuable combinations, which are worth hundreds of points instead of just a few. Lots of possibilities make the game entertaining and always exciting. Mhing is a beautiful, elegant game -- a classical game. So simple that one can play it after few minutes; in addition, so varied and exciting that it can be enjoyed for years on end. Mhing has a deck of 150 cards: 108 suit cards, 28 Honour cards, 8 Flower Cards and 6 Wild Cards. It is designed for 2-6 players ages 10 and up. Unlike Mah Jong, Mhing scales well from 2 to 6 players.
