Review: We were new to Chinese Mah Jongg, and only barely followed the American rules a long time ago, so got this as a refresher when one of our family members took up the game. And: wow! So good. It's beautifully-illustrated, with clear explanations about basic rules in a decently-paced introduction to the game, and with explanations of the most popular variations and a basic overview of strategy. Special shoutout to the typography (was it done in TeX??) which makes it quite readable, and the heavy duty end flaps which can be used as bookflaps. One of those little books that could have been done cheaply but which is, in its excellent execution, a real pleasure to own.
Review: This is a great resource for many styles of mahjong, and even though the rules aren’t exhaustive for each style, there are enough examples and instructions to get you started. My only quibble is with some edge cases that could be more explicitly explained or more hands used as examples in scoring, but well, you can’t show every possible hand. The list of courtesies is appreciated — though some are laughable for my game group, who will never observe them. I’ve used this reference to create my own group’s beginners scoring cheat sheet. Combining different scoring traditions is not generally recommended, but I wanted to give my group stepping stones to more scoring opportunities without overwhelming them from the jump. This book really helped with that.
