Celestial Jade[Note 1] is an ancient tile game originating from the Xianzhou Alliance.
History[]
The game was created during the Primeval Imperium Era,[1][2] but it has been subsequently lost. Eventually, its rules and blueprints were found again by Qingque in the Divination Commission's repository.[3] Then, she contacted a man from the Artisanship Commission[Note 2] to create the tiles and board needed to play the game. The man would also become the owner of the Quatraboard Games Parlor. Afterwards, the game would quickly become extremely popular on the Luofu, with some praising its intellectual properties, and some claiming that it is addictive and a waste of time. Its popularity lead to some publications being made about it, including a game technique manual, Celestial Jade Game Record,[4] and a free-to-play Foxian Immersia adaptation for Jade Abaci titled Viridian Soul.[5]
As of today, there are several known Celestial Jade game parlors on the Luofu, two located in Exalting Sanctum (one ran by Ruoyue[6] alongside her divination shop, and one near Synwood Pavilion), and one in the Aurum Alley (by Artistry Hardware). Additionally, it is known that a parlor named Quatraboard Games Parlor exists,[1] though it is unknown if it is any of the aforementioned parlors.
On one occassion, an owner of a game parlor lost all his money playing against Tingyun.[7]
The game has been introduced on Penacony by a traveler from the Xianzhou.[8]
Gameplay[]
Celestial Jade is a luck-based game based off celestial phenomena, astrophysics,[1] and astronomy,[2] played with four players,[9] using 144 tiles.[Note 3] The game is involved with gambling,[7] and there are ways to play it professionally.[10]
The boards used to play the game are typically[Note 3][Note 4], though not always[11], plus-shaped and tend to have an auto-shuffling function.[1]
Outside of the traditional multi-player experience, stacking the tiles may be a single-player alternative way to use the tiles and board, and has been recommended by Bailu to improve wrist flexibility after a sprain.[12]

Trivia[]
- The game is based off mahjong rummy, a real-life game.

Notes[]
- ↑ Occassionally spelled "celestial jade", with no capitalization. An instance of that occurs in Aurum Alley when interacting with the medical supplies.
- ↑ In Qingque's Exalting Sanctum NPC dialogue, she uses singular form, "I told my pen pal from the Artisanship Commission about the game. He then crafted a Celestial Jade tile set and a board for me, and even set up a games parlor... Surprisingly, the game took the Luofu by storm.", but in her Character Story, a plural form is used, "That's why the diviner used blueprints from her repository as bait to lure in close colleagues from the Artisanship Commission into crafting Celestial Jade tiles plus a board to play on". Therefore, it is unclear how many people were involved.
