Hi yolanda, I used to play mahjong a long timme ago with some friends, but it's not widely played in Australia, and I would need to be reminded before I could play again.

Well, my brother in law at the time was working in Singapore, and he taught us how to play, but I would have no idea if he taught us correctly.Have a nice day, yolanda, it's always a pleasure.

Yeah yolanda, I know how to play mahjong during my teens. The people like to play this game in my neighbor house. I learned this when visiting my neighbor's daughter all the time. I found it's really interesting game. Sometimes we would sit down and play the game for a while after the adults ended their games. Actually we were not allowed to play while we were asked to tidy the mahjong table Few years back my brother in law bought a set of mahjong. We spent our weekends playing this games at my younger brother's house quite often. After joined as mylot member for several months, I prefer to type posts here more than playing mahjong Happy posting!

yes, here if teens, not allowed to play card, mahjong or some other games like so by their parents. mylot attracts more of ur attention. but maybe u sometimes can go there to have a play with them to maintain and enhance the communication, emotion , and etc.

I know how to play but not well. But there are a lot of movies using mahjong as a mysterious thing. Some tricks, and even murder because everyone wants to be the kind of mahjong. Hey I noticed that nearly every topics you started can get so many feedback and posts. You are so good and know what people care about and interested in.

I actually do play mahjong, and I love playing. My brothers and father in law thought me how to play, and I have learned it in just two hours . Its just playing a card game called "tong its" here in the Philippines. But I got some problem with some characters like what they call Char or Kar? Its like a Chinese character pieces, and I find it difficult to recognize the numbers of it. Last Sunday we have played mahjong, and luckily the pieces of mahjong that we played have numbers engraved on it, and I have never encounter problem in recognizing the Char, and I am very proud to say that I win most of the our game sets .

Hello yolanda. I learned how to play majhong in the eighties when I was young. I learned it together with my colleagues in the office after work. And then we were all interested in playing it and we always played mahjong on weekends from evening to five or six in the morning. We four colleagues were so addicted to it and we played so often. Now thinking of those days, I still feel so happy. But now I don't play it any more because my interest is not there, but here at mylot. lol

mahjong, i have heard it for first time. is it similar to harmonica?
• China

harmonica, is that a musical instrument? if so, maybe it's not. mahjong, it's foursquare. four members to play each time... maybe u can check it online to know more abt it. an very interesting game.

Oh, the same as you, here are also too many people in my hometown play mahjong. There are also too many mahjong rooms in our living space. I don't like mahjong, and I think mahjong is really do harm to our health and life.
