I love to play mahjong, and I do well with Fukienese style,. I don't really know how to play well in the cantonese style or the taiwanese style tho. I would really love to learn, but who likes to teach?
I think it's called "mah jong" in english because in mandarin (or at least mainland people I know), call it: 麻將 - which is literally read "ma jiang"... and I guess the closest english translation is ma jongg
those seniosrs no matter where they from they are scary when it comes to mj they are fast and got crazy memory
i just started playing it on yahoo. but i keep getting booted after a game... im so confused by the rules :(
mahjong is easy to play but the "folds" are so hard to remember ... and wen u noe the folds u win more money =))
my aunties play mahjong especially during Chinese New Year..surprisingly, they don't feel restless though playing for several hours without break
I just play it for fun/to pass time. It's a damned expensive game at times though. I'd feel guilty when pocketing my friends' money too. =X But still, mahjong is NICE!
its a way of slow gambling not really in for the money its just the fact that so many people gathering there haha
