Hello Jolee,

I used to play mahjong in college with my friends from Hong Kong, but haven't played since then and have forgotten most of the rules. They told me mahjong was usually played with the older woman in the communities, otherwise, it was for gambling purposes. One of them told me he was only playing with us to practice for when he returned to Hong Kong to play for money. He was really good, too!

I recently purchased a mahjong set earlier this year from amazon and a book on the rules. I'm working on figuring out how to play again and hopefully plan to host it in my Teen Anime Club.

I would also be interested in anything else you learn as well :)
Thank you!

Anyone have any leads on Mahjong related programs (rules, history, getting a club started, etc.)?

Thanks!
