About this product

Product Information

Although Mah Jong has been played by many nationalities through the ages, there are few books on the game. Some early books, translated from the Chinese, make hilarious reading and are virtually impossible to comprehend. Most books for beginners assume that the reader has some elementary knowledge of the game. In this well-thoughtout book, the player is introduced to every phase by a clear explanation followed by illustrations which enable an easy step-by-step development of the game. Scoring is set out in simple tabulated form, with illustrations of scoring for specific hands. Altogether fifty-one hands are fully illustrated making this an invaluable handbook for newcomer and experienced player alike.

  • Easy to read book on learning to play Mah Jong

    This is a good practical book on how to play the international version of Mah Jong. It assumes no previous knowledge, and takes you from a description of the tiles to the basic hand, then to a good range of special hands and how to score. It has an easy to use format for checking up on points during play. I recommended it as a good reference textbook when I was teaching classes in Mah jong. Most of the class then went ahead and bought it over the following year and were very happy with it.
