Welcome to Mad About Mahjj, New Zealand's first American Mah Jongg destination, where I will share everything I know about this exciting and addictive version of the ancient Chinese game.
​
A New Yorker recently moved to Auckland, I can still hear the sounds of the "twittering" tiles as my Hong Kong native mom and aunties played for hours into the night at our Wong family reunions. Somehow I never learned to play - the table was always full and my cousins were far more interesting at the time!
​
Cut to early 2019....a group of my NYC friends were feverishly playing the American version and it didn't take long for this small group to mushroom into a large gang. The summer of 2019 was all about racking the tiles with many glasses of rosé...and non-stop laughs from day into night.
​
Now I'm here here to spread the American Mah Jongg fun and show you just how simple the game really is. If anything, it's a great way to spend time with good friends....and I promise it won't be long until you declare your first "Mah Jongg"!
​
See you at the table soon!
