Mah Jongg

When my friends and I play mah jongg, we use one of several sets of rules. Dan Jurafsky and Dekai Wu have given me a list of Shanghainese (long form) and Hong Kong mah jongg hands, also available in PostScript. We often use simplified rules.

I have also prepared a chart showing the tiles.

If you're looking for mah jongg books, check out Game of Mah Jong Illustrated, Mah Jong Handbook, and The Fortune Teller's Mah Jongg.
