Mahjong Cards How Come The Matching Solitaire Games Get To Call Themselves "Mahjong" When It Isn't Real 4 Player Mahjong?

How come the matching solitaire games get to call themselves "Mahjong" when it isn't real 4 player mahjong? - mahjong cards

Question. I am very angry, because almost all around me thinks that playing real mahjong mahjong tiles, China / Japan is the version with four players, a bit like Gin Rummy. I think it's false advertising is called the game "Mahjong", if only images used.
Nobody plays a game of solitaire card games and call it "Poker", so that everyone knows what poker is, or at least confused.

Is a standard 52-card deck playable for many games, so that each game gets its own name. A deck of 52 cards is called a "letter" - which are not called "Card" means. Mah-jong tiles, but are used only for two games - four-player version, and loneliness. Both are listed as Mahjong due to limitations of the images. In addition, play only a very few people Mahjong four in North America for some reason you mentioned - Gin Rummy. Why is a confused version of gin rummy played with tiles expensive if you can play with the cards? Why has such as Mahjong Solitaire game called "Mahjong out.

Edit: "Note: Just because the game does not mean the Mahjong tiles can be called" Mahjong "." This explanation is bad by nature. You could call the game what they want. If you are looking for someone to confirm the narrow view of what you have to look elsewhere.
