Description
If the clack of mahjong tiles is the soundtrack of your happy place - or you've always wanted it to be - this is the book. In Mahjong: House Rules from Across the Asian Diaspora, author Nicole Wong teaches the game the way her grandfather taught her, walking beginners and seasoned players alike through setup, gameplay, strategy, and scoring with vibrant photography and clear instructional diagrams. Along the way she explores the game's rich history and its many styles of play, from American mah-jongg (a longtime favorite around Jewish tables) to Japanese riichi. She even breaks down the famous mahjong scene from Crazy Rich Asians. Equal parts how-to guide and love letter, it's a beautiful gift for the mahj lover in your life - just don't forget the snacks.
