You don't need to know chinese to play it but it helps (there's a "set" of tiles that use chinese numbers 1-9).

its not very hard, you got 14 tiles, you want to make 4 sets of 3, and then a pair, when you win.
sets can be consecutive of the same suit, or a triple. and a pair thats the same. ta da!

technically you wouldn't need to know any Chinese to play,
but to be able to react fast enough, probably.
don't read online tutorials; that's like trying to learn how to drive watching videos on youtube.

Give that a read. The "chow" is consecutive tiles (1,2,3 or 4,5,6 etc..). The "pong" is three of a kind (1,1,1 or 2,2,2 etc..). The "kong" is four of a kind. That link gives you an idea on scoring, which is kinda important. The actual playing rules are simple, you just need to be taught in person cause it's alot easier to understand than reading.

To avoid chicken, just set the game to 三番 ("3 fan" or "san fan") at least.

damn you guys
i play chicken! 
i try not to, but obviously we set the ground rules first. if no chicken allowed, then no chicken allowed!
and there is mahjong on yahoo... not the one where you gotta match the tiles to rid the screen, but actually live mahjong that you can play w/ others.
