(sometimes written 'kards' to distinguish it from the American
Mah Jongg Association (AMJA) scoring cards, which are spelled
with a 'c', and outline valid hands).
What's the difference?
The only major difference between Mah Jong with
tiles and cards is that you cannot build a wall, but use a shuffled
pack instead.
Rules
for Cards
You may use any rules for regular Mah Jong when playing with
kards. The only major difference is that there is no wall to build;
use a shuffled pack instead of a wall.
In 1924 de la Rue published "The Pocket Guide to Mah Jong"
which advocated the use of Cards rather than Tiles.
Mhing® is the name of a Mah Jong-style game.
The rules supplied in the box are slightly different to most
forms of Mah Jong, however, the cards can be used to play standard
Mah Jong rules.
