Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Whether used as a reference or a beautiful keepsake, it's a very worthy addition to the world of Mah Jongg." --Ruth Unger, President, National Mah Jongg League This is the first book to fully capture the story of the exotic and exciting game of Mahjong or "Mah Jongg", offering an intimate look at the history of the game as well as the visual beauty of the tiles. When authors Ann Israel and Gregg Swain began playing Mahjong, they were unaware of the vintage collections that existed not only in the United States but also across the globe. Slowly, they started to collect their own sets of Mahjong and as their collections grew, so did their appreciation of the history of, and interest in, the game. Finding few references, Israel and Swain set out to create a book that chronicles the early beginnings of the game and documents Mahjong sets from the most basic, made simply of paper, to the most precious materials such as ivory and mother-of-pearl. Recognized and respected scholars and game experts have collaborated with Israel and Swain, contributing important chapters on the game's history and its pieces as well as technical information on the tiles. Lastly, great collectors from around the globe have shared their incredible sets and memories for the first time in one book for everyone to enjoy. With hundreds of beautiful new images by renowned photographer Michel Arnaud, and including historical documentation and ephemera, Mah Jongg: The Art of the Game fills the void between the past's and today's game, providing vision, inspiration and resources. Anyone who has ever been intrigued by a Mahjong tile will find in these pages visually stunning photographs that will entice them into becoming an enthusiast of the timeless game of Mahjong.

Book Synopsis American Mah Jongg Primer by : Michele Frizzell
Download or read book American Mah Jongg Primer written by Michele Frizzell and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mah jongg originated in China dating back to the 1880's. The name of the game is spelled many ways, but they all roughly translate to "sparrow." It is an intriguing tile game of skill, strategy, and luck. In the beginning, only royalty played the game. It was actually illegal for commoners to play. In the 1900's this restriction was lifted, and the game gained popularity throughout Asia. By the time the game was introduced to Europe in 1920, several playing styles had emerged. In 1922, mah jongg was imported into the United States with translated and simplified rules for American players. The National Mah Jongg League (NMJL) was established by a group of New York City players in 1937. They found that Americans were confused about the many ways to play the game, so they created their own rules and developed a player reference card (i.e., the card) that is published and distributed every year in April with a portion of the proceeds going to charity. This is the most common way to play mah jongg in the United States and has come to be known as "American Style." The objective in a game is to be the first player to assemble fourteen tiles into one of many pattern-based combinations or "hands" on the card. The purpose of this primer is to teach the fundamentals of the American mah jongg game, provide skill-building exercises, and share enough strategy for the game to be played with confidence. It is intentionally brief.
