How many cards are there in a mahjong deck?

Hello, according to your question, briefly.

If it is a complete set of mahjong, there should actually be 152.

Including disk, flower card, ordinal card and wild card.

But interestingly, many times you don't need so many cards.

Why? Because different places play differently, the cards needed are not exactly the same.

For example, in northern areas, mahjong tiles of 136 are generally used, and some are only 74.

Mahjong in South China generally uses 144 card, and the extra eight cards are spring, summer, autumn and winter, plum, bamboo and orchid.

So, it depends on whether you are in the north or the south. How to play mahjong in that area?
