Mahjong Media Reviews: The Diva League
Hello everyone, after a small break, I`m back to review a new mahjong resource. So far in these reviews, we have covered books, games, and even some comics, but today, I want to introduce a new media: DVDs. I`ve recently started watching mahjong DVDs as a way of trying to better my game, and have found it a surprisingly fun, time efficient, and effective way of studying. So today, I`m here to review:

What is your Mahjong Super Power?

What’s your Mahjong super power?
Hello everyone, this is Jamie. After reading Konno`s column regarding style, I started thinking about my own style, and the styles of the people I play regularly with. When you have a group of regular players, it’s interesting because you find yourself starting to notice their habits. What hands they like, what tiles they keep in their hands. Pretty much what is important to them.

Reach Mahjong: The Only Way to Play Review
Jan 29th, 2010
by jamie
Hello everyone. I apologize for being late this month on the review. It’s gotten very cold here and as the temperature drops, so does my ability to think straight and accomplish things in a timely manner. Starting this week, I’m choosing a bit of a different pace. For the next few months, I’m going to try to review as many books and resources in English as I can. While most of the books that I’ve reviewed thus far are manageable for people who even don’t speak Japanese, I know it can be annoying to be looking through a resource and not be able to comprehend every part of it. Mahjong is a complicated game enough as it is right? So to kick off the first English book review for the website, I chose to review Jenn’s book.

One of MahjongMart.com’s most popular products and the hardest one to keep in stock is the Transparent Tile Set. The set is a more affordable version of the set used by Washizu in the popular Akagi comic book/anime.
