When you buy a set in the West it usually comes with a pretty poor rule book that is badly translated from Chinese so that it’s almost gobbledygook. I was introduced to it in my university days and played with what’s known as British rules, although there are loads of regional variations. It’s a game for four players involving skill, calculation and a good dose of luck and is played with an absolutely beautiful set of tiles which once would have been made of Jade and Ivory. I am a massive fan of Mahjong, a game which originated in China and is massively popular in the East, though it’s harder to find players in the West.
