For many third-culture kids in the Asian diaspora, the sight and sound of clacking mahjong tiles conjures deep-seated memories. Some learned to play alongside elders, while others watched from afar. Maybe you only distantly know of the game through movies or articles about pop-up mahjong nights. Whether you are looking to reconnect with the game, pick up a new hobby, or introduce others to a favorite pastime, this is a step-by-step guide for new and seasoned players alike.
With vibrant photography and detailed instructional diagrams, author Nicole Wong walks you through gameplay, just as her grandfather would have. The book delves into the strategy, history, and design of the game and discusses various popular styles of play including American mah-jongg and Japanese riichi mahjong.
