Review: Learn American Mah Jongg - After seeing several friends post about playing Mah Jongg, I decided it was time to learn to play myself. This book was such an amazing guide. It really broke down the rules and basic information to make it easier to understand. I quickly learned the basics and met weekly with a couple of friends to start applying this new information. I can say this book is well-written and perfect for beginners. I recommend it to anyone that is wanting to start playing this great game. It is a great reference when I want to look up a rule or other information. I recommend this book to anyone new to the game, and especially to true beginners! Review: New to Mah Jongg? This is a good beginner’s book. - If you are new to Mah Jongg, this book provides excellent basic instructions that are easy to understand. There are ample examples and even “try it” types activities to help you evaluate how well you understood the concepts presented in each chapter. Concepts are broken down into reasonable “chunks” allowing the newbie player the opportunity to slow down and absorb the concepts and the more experienced player the opportunity to skip ahead to areas that they wish to review, such as how the Charleston works and how to select tiles to pass during that process. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in learning how to play Mah Jongg, but I must also emphasize the importance of just “getting out there” and playing. The more you play, the more confident you will become. Mah Jongg is a social game, so join a group and have fun. 🀄️ ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #331 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Board Games (Books) #1 in Puzzle & Game Reference (Books) #1 in Gambling (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,444 Reviews | ## Images ![A Beginner's Guide to American Mah Jongg: How to Play the Game & Win - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yRsKDYU0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learn American Mah Jongg *by A***Z on May 24, 2026* After seeing several friends post about playing Mah Jongg, I decided it was time to learn to play myself.
