Be patient!|||i miss the mah jong game too.|||Yahoo games server is down. No telling when it'll be back to normal. It seems to go and come, sometimes continuous logging in and out and "click here" if game applet doesn't open results in you making it in. But i think it's the games server for yahoo.

When will yahoo get abra academy and the new mah jong quest2? both good game's?
Abra academy is on bigfishgames.com, at least the downloadable version. And you can buy it for 6.99 if you join the club. Not sure about Mahjong, but have found they have most of the yahoo games I enjoyed there. Just wish I had found it before I spent 19.99 on so many games. Good luck.|||As far as I know, Yahoo doesn't advertise upcoming games.
GameSocks.com just got Abra Academy yesterday, before that it was on Big Fish's site, etc.
I didn't really like Abra Academy... I still don't know why it's popular. Magic Academy was much more fun.

How to play mah jong?
Each player is dealt either 13 tiles for 13-tile variations or 16 tiles for 16-tile variations.
A turn involves a player's drawing of a tile from the wall (or draw pile) and then placing it in his hand. The player then discards a tile onto the table. This signals the end of his turn, prompting the player to the right to make his move. As a form of courtesy, each player is encouraged to announce loudly the name of the tile being discarded. Many variations require that discarded tiles be placed in an orderly fashion in front of the player, while some require that these be placed face down.|||gambling is bad

Hope this helps|||From a question I answered previously:
"I'm well versed in Hong Kong Mahjong, my favorite variant. If you have any questions about play, feel free to ask.
I found it invaluable to play against computer opponents (who would take their time!) before going against real people. I used Hong Kong Mahjong, which I believe also contains a tutorial.
You can find it at the link in sources.
The aim of the 4-player game is very similar to Gin Rummy. Make runs or melds of similar tiles until all your tiles in your hands are used. The tiles are similar in concepts to cards with suits and numbers from 1 to 9. One of the suits is harder to get than the others because they print the iconographs for the numbers 1 to 9.
Then there are special tiles. Its not just about making matches with all your tiles - players are striving to make "bonus points". For instance, you make extra points in the end if all your sets are runs or all your sets are melds. Each seat in the game has a cardinal point (N S E W) and if you make a meld of that cardinal point, more bonus points.
Its considered bad with some players to match up all your tiles but make no points (referred as a chicken hand).
10 is your jackpot of Mahjong. Its your limit - very rare, no one can make more than 10 points. (correction: you can make more than 10 points but your pay will not vary, see payout below)
Check with the people you're playing with - its very common for there to be house rules for points. The examples I list above are common point schemes, but some houses play for big hands, like "The Jade Dragon", or "Ones and Nines", where if you make one of these hands, you get all your 10 points.
Once the points are made, they're converted to a chip total, which is where the gambling portion comes into play.
It works with exponents of 2, until you get high where they are then grouped:
0 points = 1 chip payout
1 point = 2 chip payouts
2 points = 4 chip payouts
3 points = 8 chip payouts
4,5,6 points = 16 chip payouts
7,8,9 points = 32 chip payouts
10+ points = 64 chip payouts.
Everyone gives the winner the chip payout listed above. The guy that throws out the tile that makes the person win has to pay double the points. If the person wins by drawing a tile, everyone has to pay double.
Chip prices depend on the stake of the games - there are yellow green and red chips. Green being the unit price, yellow is unit x 10 and red is unit x 50.
People buy the chips, and keep playing until everyone has lost their money!
EDIT: I hadn't considered the question was referring to solitaire mahjong. Many people don't even know of the 4-player variety.
In solitaire mahjong, you simply match up similar tiles. In order for a tile to be matchable, one of its vertical edges must not be touching another tile and cannot have another tile on top of it."|||remove those tiles fast by matching them to similar signals|||BASIC RULES
Tiles
A MahJong set consists of 144 tiles, which may be divided into suit tiles, honor tiles, and bonus tiles.
Suit tiles show a suit--either bamboos, characters, or circles--and a rank from 1 through 9. There are four identical tiles of each kind, for a total of 108 suit tiles (3 suits x 9 ranks x 4 tile of each kind). Bamboos are sometimes called bams, boos, or sticks; characters may be referred to as characks, cracks, or wan; and circles are also known as balls or dots. The 1's and 9's of each suit are referred to as "terminals," while the 2's through 8's are known as "simples."
Honor tiles come in two categories, dragons and winds. There are three kinds of dragons--Red, Green, and White--and four kinds of winds--East, South, West, and North. Like suit tiles, each honor tile comes in identical sets of four, making a total of 28 honor tiles in a set.
Bonus tiles consist of four flowers and four seasons, a total of eight tiles in all. On many sets each bonus tile is numbered from 1 through 4, though these numbers play no part in the game. Seasons are usually numbered in red (1-Spring, 2-Summer, 3-Autumn, 4-Winter) and flowers in green or blue (1-Plum, 2-Orchid, 3-Chrysanthemum, 4-Bamboo). For scoring purposes, bonus tiles relate to specific winds as follows: Those numbered with a 1 correspond to East; with a 2, to South; with a 3, to West; and with a 4, to North. Bonus tiles are not used in all forms of MahJong
OBJECTIVE
The object of the game is to score the most points, which are earned for "going MahJong" and for holding certain combinations of tiles. Except for some special hands (not currently used at Yahoo!), going MahJong requires collecting four sets or sequences of three tiles each, plus a pair. This requires 14 tiles--the 13 in each player's hand plus the extra tile a player draws each turn before discarding.
A set of three identical tiles is called a "pong," a set of four identical tiles is a "kong," and a sequence of three tiles of consecutive ranks in the same suit is a "chow." A player with a kong draws a replacement; otherwise, the player would be one tile short in trying to go MahJong.
Sets and sequences vary in value, and points earned in a hand may be doubled and redoubled many times depending on the contents of the hand and/or other factors. As the game is played at Yahoo!, each player settles up with every other player after each hand by comparing the relative values of their hands. This form of play is known as the "mixed-hand" game. (In some forms of the game, only the player who goes MahJong scores points.)
A game usually consists of 16 hands, each with a different combination of dealer and "prevailing wind." In the first hand, the East wind is designated as the prevailing wind; East remains the prevailing wind until each player has dealt once. The prevailing wind then shifts, in order, to South, West, and North. Under each prevailing wind, each player gets to deal once. The prevailing wind does not directly affect play, but it can affect scoring.|||http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/mahj鈥?/a>
