Editorial Reviews:

This book is designed for those familiar with the game who now want to improve their skills and maybe teach others to play.

The illustrations are all in colour to simplify identification of the various hands -- 55 in all. The calculator in the back cover makes scoring simple.

The modern Western game of Mah Jong has evolved from the original Chinese game, first recorded about 500BC. Mah Jong is played in slightly different forms in many countries around the world. Once the basic structure of the game is mastered players find no difficulty in adapting to another version of the game.

Summary: NOT about Maj Jong League maj jong
Comment: This books' version on Western Maj Jong is not one I have heard of. It seems to assume that a player can make up any hand that matches his/her tiles. I was looking for strategies to win with the game that goes with the card that changes yearly. This book has no reference for "Jewish" maj.

Summary: More on Chinese game than American
Comment: If you play typical American Mah Jongg this book may not be the best for you.

Summary: A Valuable Guide to Mah Jong and including the Scoring Card
Comment: This book is the best tool I have read to improve upon the game. It provides a valuable tool in the scoring card.
No doubt more poeple would play the game with these well-writtem and truly helpful books.
It is a great companion to the authors' other works, especially Mah Jong Illustrated. SLZ.

Summary: In Search of Strategy
Comment: After five years of playing this game weekly with the same group of four, we thought we'd covered all the strategic moves possible. This publication has made each of us players rethink our playing styles and open our minds to thinking differently about the game of Mah Jong.

This book is an uncomplicated read for such a complex game. We eagerly await the next publication!

Summary: excellent book with clear easy to read illustrations.
Comment: Having a basic knowledge of the game I was looking for a book to improve my hands. This book covers special hands and has great illustrations of each hand which are clearly drawn and easy to read. This book also provided an overview of the differences between the Western and Chinese games. In other books I've found the sections on scoring to be tendious and off-putting, however, this book describes it clearly and gives examples. In summary: A great graphical book for a game that is quite graphical!
