Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Helpful for new player Comment: I purchased this book for a relative who was interested in learning mahjong. They said this book is excellent and helped them "get in the game." Customer Rating: Summary: The Game of Mah Jong Illustrated Comment: Excellent book to learn the game. Additional book, "THE MAH JONG PLAYER'S COMPANION" by the same authors, Patricia A. Thompson & Betty Maloney, is a great partner to this who want to learn more hands. I am HOPING THAT IT WILL COME BACK INTO PRINT. I ORDERED IT AND IT WAS BACK ORDERED, ONLY TO LEARN LATER THAT IT WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. PLEASE BRING IT BACK. We have a growing group of player's who use these two books exclusively! BRING IT BACK!!! Customer Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONAL BOOK Comment: I BOUGHT THIS BOOK BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS AND I MUST AGREE IT IS A GREAT BOOK, EASY TO FOLLOW AND FIGURE OUT THE PREMISE OF THE GAME. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO START TO PLAY MAHJONG... Customer Rating: Summary: Even an idiot knows it is played with 2 dice Comment: The reviewer who was confused about the counting of tiles for each player at start of play and use of dice obviously is challenged. The counting is very easy. I sometimes get confused on who should be what "wind" or methods of goulash but building the wall,and starting the game is easy after you do it a few times. The terminology is clear and easy if you have ever played Rummy as a child. Thompson's writing is clear and easy for a novice. Customer Rating: Summary: Mah Jong Comment: After a shipping problem at the beginning--the set arrived several weeks later than it was supposed to--I am very pleased with what I received. It is everything that I hoped it would be including the great aluminum box it is packed in.
