Mahjonng by Committee

Pat Ellis explained the rules of Mahjong to a crowd of 11 beginners on Friday. This ancient game has evolved into an interesting pastime, with a myriad of variations to entice any active gamer. The rules are no harder than cribbage, and the tiles are similar to a deck of cards. I'll bet that with a little practice, we'll have some experts in no time. Last night, we played in threesomes for each hand, making it a committee game. I can't wait to play by myself so I can lose all on my own!
