Over 100 year ago, Joseph Babcock introduced Americans to the game of Mahjong in his book Babcock's Rules for Mah-Jongg: The Fascinating Chinese Game. His Red Book of Rules (1920) remains the model for how this version of the game is played. Mahjong relies on a combination of skill and luck, which is why, like poker, it has a long and colorful association with gambling. It's also an exciting game to play just for fun. Chinese mahjong is flexible and can be played by people of all ages and skill levels. Written in an entertaining and easily accessible style, this book covers all the basics of strategy and scoring, with lots of opportunities for the reader to practice. It also contains a section on how to simplify the game, valuable advice on where to look for and purchase a set of tiles, quizzes to test your understanding, and many illustrations. Mahjong is a wonderful way to meet new people, have fun, and exercise your brain. This book will help you develop your skill as a player and develop an appreciation for a game that is exotic, mysterious, and enormously entertaining.
