    V good game that brings the family together, lots of memorial moments, for instance i played it at Xmas with my family and my dad will always say pk when he about to win with a big head, thats when i get really scared cos we play for money, no holding back on his part :(

    Also agree with the original poster view that mahjong is the texas holdem for us asians, more strategy involved

    anyone know a good site that explains how to count points and the most commonly used bonus points? +1 point on a kong self pick.

    or how many points is a "little 4 up" ponging 3 of the winds and the last wind is your eye.

    My whole family plays it mainly during the Christmas break. My dad is from the generation (meaning he can tell the pieces by touching them).

    would online MJ be an acceptable form of learning MJ itself?
