Fun and Games
Military Mah Jongg The Military version of this ancient Chinese game
is both fun and challenging. Developed so that Air
Force spouses all over the world could play by the
same rules as they were transferred to new locations, it varies a little from the traditional game in
that it is slower paced and easy-going. Rule books
with hands are available at cost ($5-7). Rule books
do not change yearly. If you have your own playing
set, you may want to bring it. NOT a “class” but an
opportunity to play and hone your skills. If you already play “traditional” MJ, we can help you learn
the differences so you can enjoy this version also.
