Two major Mah-Jongg traditions in one guide

Tom Sloper’s guide brings American and Chinese Mah-Jongg together, with an overview of other approaches around the world. Its coverage moves from the game’s history and origins to practical play: dealing, building and distributing tiles, rules, etiquette, and ways to avoid common errors. That range makes the book useful as both an introduction to the game’s foundations and a reference for its distinct versions. The source also describes guidance on winning, presented alongside the mechanics and customs that shape play.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People new to Mah-Jongg who want an introduction to its rules and tile handling.
  • Players interested in comparing American and Chinese versions.
  • Mah-Jongg players seeking guidance on etiquette and common playing errors.
