Mah Jongg -- The Chinese Game of Four Winds
Welcome
I've gotten much too busy to keep up this page with any regularity, let alone
make the modifications that I'd like to see done. Besides, so many others
have done a fantastic job of documenting the game's rules and history,
providing software and even setting up games that can be played in real time
across the Net.
However, I will leave this page up and make updates to my lists of books,
movies and TV show featuring Mah Jongg as I get the time.
I've also left my rules on how to play Mah Jongg on a separate page for those
of you that would like to get started playing. For a more complete
treatment, as well as where to buy Mah Jongg sets and software, see some of
the Other Mah Jongg Web Sites below.
Please feel free to send any questions, comments, additions, corrections,
or other ideas for this page to clay@cs.utk.edu. I can't promise how quickly
I'll respond, though.
