Mah Jong, Anyone. This item is unavailable.Mah Jong, Anyone

Mah Jong, the ancient game of China, is enjoying another burst of popularity in America and in the many foreign communities of the Far East. In the years since Mah Jong swept the U.S. in the '20s, the rules have become complex, varied, and subject to yearly changes, thus losing a good deal of the spirit of the original game. The rules of the game in Illinois or New York are no more similar than they are in foreign communities in Tokyo or Singapore.

Kitty Strauser of Baltimore, MD and Lucille Evans of New York, NY traveled throughout America and Asia, following their husbands from one military assignment to another, for years. During this time they both played Mah Jong and organized groups wherever they were stationed.
