learn to play Mah Jong

I would say that I’ve leanred to play mahjong – I am all pong pong pong, chow chow chow, and we’re playing usually about once a week, if none of us is too tired – SO FUN.

Last night I had our friends Mike and Amber over – now Amber and Stephen both know how to play, so we can play as a foursome, which is awesome. I’m thrilled. I’ve been playing online all morning, which was fun, except when I got yelled at by some crazy person.

I had the most awesome time, it was six of us at an early-closing Starbucks on a Monday afternoon, and we had a blast! I brought two of my friends, one who knew how to play and one who didn’t, and I want to play every night now. SO FUN.

So, I have found myself a mahjong group! I’m going to meet with them to play on Monday, and I’m super excited. I’ve been playing online and even though I’ve been kicked out of several yahoo game rooms, I think I have it figured out now and am no longer a mahjong menace.
Wish me luck!

I seem to be okay (so far) at Mah Jong. It’s much more my speed – like gin rummy, not like chess. I have been playing a little bit on the internet, and yesterday I bought myself a set of tiles and a little book with the japanese rules.
