Product Description
Book Description
Teach Yourself Mahjong is an easy way for you to learn the fundamentals of mahjong, a game with ancient Chinese origins and played in the United States since the 1920s. Each player builds a wall using colorfully engraved tiles, which are picked and discarded to achieve a winning combination--just as in a card game. Features tips on buying a set, keeping score, and clever strategies.

Basics with references to American and Japanese variations..,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Mahjong (Paperback)
I just learned the American version of the game and was looking for some history and basics as well as pointers on strategy. This book has some good strategy sections as well as sections on the American and Japanese games as well as Chinese and other Asian variations. Addresses and descriptions of American and Japanese national organizations are given.The illustrations are small and in black and white so if you are looking for more pictures, this is not the book for you. On the other hand, the illustrations of hands were useful - you just have to look at the page more closely.
