Calling Mahjong

When mahjong was initially pioneered in the United States, he was immediately embraced by Americans across the country. People are enrolled in class’s mahjong, just like they did with the bridge and chess. Mahjong instructors were quite willing to accept the influx of hungry for mahjong because even they have grown in numbers students. For those who do not have enough to attend classes, there were illustrations on street corners all the time.

At the peak of his fame, most experts speculated that mahjong has attracted Americans because it provided a few things not found in other recreational games at this point. One consideration is that it is easy to learn. Like any other game, he needed some time to learn some basic skills but as soon as this happened, there were endless possibilities that can be developed.

Another consideration is that mahjong was seen as more scientific than failures. While it was much easier to learn compared to chess, were more interested in populating the complexities of mahjong. In chess, a simple movement of his opponent should be monitored by a player. The actions of this player depended on the movement of his opponent or his anticipation of success movement of his opponent. On the one hand, mahjong, a player had to watch three movements of his opponent. He must discover what his three opponents have in their hands and determine what would be their actions. In this way, he would not waste his tiles may want an opponent. Monitoring the movement of three players seemed logical and many people have found challenging.

Mahjong has been credited for sound complicated, but in reality, it was relatively easy. Beginners who learned the game in fifteen minutes could be rejoicing because they have learned the game called “the game of a hundred intelligences.” Such a game could not have been developed during the night, nor could have discovered by a person of high intelligence. A prestigious game could have been developed by people of excess advanced cultures so many years.


Clearly, mahjong had a lot of factors that attracted the Americans. These attractions may have been a result similar games had nothing to offer as mahjong. But in fairness, mahjong also had the qualities that were not as attractive as well. For example, mahjong sets were greatly exaggerated unlike a set of cards or even chess board. Regardless, mahjong, at the peak of his prestige, had a look attractive over its failures and bridge rivals.
