Mahjong

New thing today, broke open my Mahjong set and played with the family at our house! It was rather impromptu. I've had the set for years. I play with my dad's side of the family a ton and they all know how to play. This time I was teaching my mom's side of the family how to play and we all just dove in.

I think we all had fun and the thing I love about mahjong are the tiles and the actual play of the game. To get a little philosophical I suppose, you build a wall in front of you with the tiles, and as the game plays you remove the tiles one by one and tear down the walls. It's all fun play and the tiles add an extra element to them. I laid out one of our blankets since you need to play on felt or some other similar textured cloth.

Overall a ton of fun. I was a bit nervous teaching the game, but we all ended up fine and having a good time! Yeay Mahjong!!!
