    I usually watch my family play manjong. I can understand how to get them but I don't know how to win and count. My family enjoy playing it. Wish I able to play one day but I don't think so. =)

    It's easy. But mastering it, .... takes time and practice, and skill.

    But if you plan on learning on your own, don't go to English websites! They teach you the white man's way of playing Mahjong, which is wrong!

    Search Mahjong on Yahoo HK or even more, you can sign up and play online at Yahoo HK (although the computer AI is SOOO ridiculously stupid, it still gives you practice and a base grasp on the game).

    I used to be a much bigger mj fan than i am now. I used to play in online 5yrs ago for real dollar.. but to be honest.. i never trusted it.. since collusion is too possible in my opinion back then.. ofcourse since playing holdem i have a different hobbie :D

    i play Hong Kong Mah jong but also play Beijing Style Mah Jong which is completely different .....i find it really annoying trying to switch between styles......i prefer Hong Kong Ma Jiang as i feel it is more skillful
