This group is devoted to the feverish pursuit of the game of majiang. We play in the Chinese style that can be traced back to the Wanli emperor. Our weekend games are friendly, protracted, and generally set in San Francisco or the Peninsula.
“My partner and I have a basic knowledge of how to play what as I read below is probably 13 tile HK style mahjong. Would LOVE to attend a San Francisco or Penninsula meeting where you will be having beginners. We have the fundamental knowledge of pongs and kongs and chi and pillow, but the scoring is a BIG mystery. Thanks, jude”
“Welcome to the group John! Wow you have the tiles used on the Joy Luck Club? Nice!
Yes we play both Taiwan style 16 tile and 13 tile HK style Mahjong. (it's not the solitare game that's for sure! =)”
“Hi Jude -
Welcome to the group! I don't know anything about western mj, but there are plenty of people here that can help you with learning Chinese Mahjong.”
“I'm not sure if you are playing the real game called, Mahjong with tiles not cards, but I'm in to learn something close to it. I have a very old set of tiles that was used in the movie set, The Joy Luck movie.”
“My partner and I are just learning Chinese mahjong (nuebees) we already play western mahjong, and would like to better understand/play Chinese mahjong, and would be willing to play/teach western mahjong if there is interest!”
