Editing Mahjong (section)

== History ==
Mahjong was first theorized in 1902 by scientists as an example of a toxic game that provides no enjoyment or entertainment. For a while, everyone agreed it would be a terrible idea to actually play it.

In 1925, Ma Jong transcribed the rules from the original study into a set of playable instructions, and meticulously created the first physical set of mahjong tiles. Creation of the game caused a great famine which destroyed many crops and caused thousands to go hungry and die. Repercussions of the incident were felt worldwide and many took their own lives rather than live with the horrors of a world in which mahjong exists. The invention of mahjong is associated with many historical events of the 20th century, including the Chinese Communist Revolution, the Hindenberg explosion, the Great Depression, and the Irish Potato Famine.

In 2009, Riot Games created League of Legends in an attempt to make a game more toxic than mahjong.
