ADDITIONAL DETAILS
I have a lucky ferret mascot named Cloud. He affects people with allergies like cats do. But if you have been ok at Craig’s, then you should be fine here too.
I have 3 sets, 1 Singapore and 2 Cantonese. So if a couple of people can bring their Singapore sets.
Scoring:
We’ll keep on-going logs of scores, renewing each quarter of the year, and prizes being awarded at the end of each.
Why the scoring?
On-going scores, among other things:
- Trains the watchful eye to see patterns & to adjust playing style accordingly
- Adds a fun healthy dose of competition – nightly & quarterly – with prizes!
- Inspires you to up your game via special strategies, stronger hands and special hands
What’s in store for the future?
Additional games, locations, styles, practice sessions, tournaments and much more…All are in the future!
What is Mahjong?
Spelled a variety of ways, Mahjong is a 4-player game created in China a couple of hundred years ago & has since spread across the globe, inheriting a variety of styles. Unlike bridge, however, it is not a “partner” game – each person plays on their own.
The game uses skill, intelligence, calculation, strategy, fun and, like other gambling games, a certain amount of luck.
The closest Western game to Mahjong is perhaps the card game Gin Rummy. Both Majiang and Gin Rummy involve selecting or discarding tiles or cards to form groups or sets of similar suits.
Check out the rules listed on this site.
Need to learn how to play or just a refresher? Got any specific questions on tips, strategies, etc., drop us a line!
As always, may the tiles be with you, and I look forward to tossing tiles with you!
