Mahjong
Mahjong is a four-player game sometimes called "Asian poker".
Here are some slides (PDF) with a gentle introduction.
Autotable
Autotable is an online platform for playing Mahjong with other people. It's more a simulator than a game. Read the about page for more information.
Minefield
Minefield Mahjong is a two-player game I made with some friends. It's also available on Github if you want to play with the code.
See also the poster (PDF) describing the implementation!
Japanese Mahjong flash game
Great for practice. There is also a bamboo-only version if you want to practice complicated waits.
