Mah-Jongg: Basic Rules & Strategies

Rating:
Summary: Beginners guide to Mahjongg
Review: After reading many rules of play and buying several books, in and out of print, on the subject, I found this the best for the novice to the game. It is easily read and followed. I recommend it to those wanting to learn to play.

Rating:
Summary: Good introduction to the game
Review: I bought this book hoping that it would cover the Chinese rules of Mah-Jongg, which I am trying to learn. It does, though it calls the game "traditional" Mah-Jongg. I haven't yet had time to sit down and really set out to learn the game, but this book looks like the way to do it. It has ample illustrations and goes step by step through a couple of games, giving examples on strategies.

All told, a solid buy.

Summary: Not National Mah Jongg League (USA)
Review: To quote from page 6 in the book, "Rules and strategies for a so-called mixed-hand variation of traditional Mah-Jongg are presented here."

Those who are playing with the 2002 card in the National League will not find much help in rules or strategies.
