  One of the national treasures, Mahjong, is a strategic card game originating
from China, played competitively by constructing and optimizing card hands
among four players. In the game, players aim to achieve specific combinations
of cards, known as "winning hands," through actions such as drawing,
discarding, pung, and kong. Mahjong not only tests memory and strategy but also
integrates probability and chance, embodying profound cultural significance and
social attributes. However, as Mahjong becomes a widely popular social
activity, its impact on personal life has gradually become apparent. In this
paper, I delve into the analysis of the effects of playing Mahjong on marital
relationships, particularly the three negative effects it brings to women:
  Time Displacement: The uncertainty of Mahjong playing time leads to a
reduction in shared time between spouses. Women may feel neglected due to the
lack of companionship, leading to "Mahjong Panic Syndrome."
  Emotional Conflict: Mahjong playing can result in losses, and men may harbor
"resentment from defeat" at the Mahjong table, which could be brought into the
household and spark marital disputes.
  Social Isolation: Women may feel excluded from their partner's social circle
if they do not participate in Mahjong activities, experiencing "marginalization
at the card table."
  This study not only reveals the potential negative impact of late-night
Mahjong returns on marital relationships but also provides new insights into
communication and empathy between spouses from the perspectives of decision
trees, time series analysis, and game theory. It also finds the optimal
solution through Monte Carlo simulations.
