Synopsis:
The Red Dragon & The West Wind is the perfect introduction to this ancient game of strategy and subterfuge, covering all aspects of the two most common varieties, American and Chinese, along with an overview of other global approaches.
The book begins with the history and origin and moves on to the rules of play and ways to win and avoid essential errors as well as the etiquette to follow. With everything from clear instructions on dealing, building, and distributing tiles to a look at the history and future of the game, this is the essential book for anyone who wants to have fun-and win-while playing mah-jongg.
About the Author: Game designer and producer Tom Sloper is widely regarded as an international expert on mah-jongg. In addition to lecturing at the Smithsonian Institution, he has been interviewed by National Geographic, the New York Times, and the Baltimore Sun, and has written extensively on the traditional game, including a regular column in the American Mah-Jongg Association newsletter.
