    Experienced international Mah Jongg instructors Gregg Swain and Toby Salk walk you through the basics of American Mah Jongg--introducing readers to the tiles, rituals, history, rules and winning strategies of the game.

    • Understanding table rules and etiquette
    • Winning strategies for various types of hands

    National Mah Jongg tournament director Gladys Grad contributes a foreword that explains why so many people love the game. Grad also has written a chapter that outlines the rules of Siamese Mah Jongg, a fun two-person game she created that you can't find in any other Mah Jongg book!

    This book comes with everything you need to get started playing, including:
    • A timeless sample Mah Jongg scoring card
    • A paper set to cut out and use while learning
