Why is Mahjong so popular? - History
Mahjong history dates back to the Sung Dynasty (960-1279 AD), however it wasn’t introduced to the Western world until the 20th century. It is said that Joseph Babcock is responsible for bringing the game to the United States in 1920 and it's popularity grew rapidly. He was said to publish a set of rules and several companies later then created game sets. This set in motion a craze for the game around the country.
In 1940s, the Chinese government outlawed Mahjong, claiming it was a capitalist game since players would sometimes gamble and they only wanted elite citizens playing the game because they feared that peasants might develop their mental capacities through. However, prohibition of the game was lifted in 1985. It is very popular due to the tile designs of suits, honor and flowers. CogniFit scientists have developed the game to help train different cognitive skills with a popular game that many already know and love.

What happens if you don't train your cognitive skills?
The brain is designed to reserve resources, which causes it to eliminate the connections that it doesn't use often. This means that if you don't regularly use a certain cognitive skill, the brain will stop sending it the resources that it needs, and it will become weaker and weaker. This makes us less efficient when using the said function, causing us to be less efficient in daily activities.
