USPML Thoughts: The Excitement of Mahjong
Feb 22nd, 2010

“What a Rush – taking a look at the mahjong high”
by Charlyn Gee, USPML
I can’t deny it ・mahjong gets my heart rate up. Playing makes me feel excited. It feels like a runner’s high, or like the excitement of stage nerves right before your opening night. I love games in general ・board games, card games, video games, you name it ・and many games are interesting, fun, and engaging, just like mahjong. But few others give me the edge-of-my-seat thrill that mahjong does. (more…)

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.
