    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

    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!

    "slow gambling" haha
    just make each 番 worth more in terms of $$$$$
    then it becomes 'faster'
