They say that Mahjongg is a game that is difficult to learn...but lots of fun once you master it.
The only "mahjongg" I've ever played is on the computer...and it's a simple game of matching two "like tiles" to clear the board. Well...believe me...mahjong is NOTHING like that...it is a tile game that requires a lot of concentration and thinking...which to me sounds like good "brain exercises for older folks". Four of us met at Linda's house this afternoon and two of her friends came over to teach and help us learn to play. After a l-o-n-g lesson explaining the basics...then we began playing. After all...you learn by doing.

The others are Judy, Sandy, and Linda.
