Mahjong and Cherki were two games that were well-loved by the Nyonyas.
Mahjong is a game that can be played by 4 players. Cherki is similar to Mahjong but is a simpler and shorter version.

Nyonya loved to play Mahjong. It was a past time and a way for them to socialize with their sister and other relatives. Nyonya Joo Suan would take a trishaw down the road to play several rounds of Mahjong with the ladies in the household she grew up in.
