The history of Mahjong
Behind the beautiful tiles is a rich story of skill, cultural exchange and community.
The modern game developed in China in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, with origins generally traced to the region around Shanghai. Its exact beginnings are still debated.
Mahjong became a sensation in the United States in the early 1920s. Chinese American communities continued to make the game an important part of social and cultural life.
The National Mah Jongg League formed in 1937. Jewish American women helped shape and sustain American mahjong, building friendships and traditions around regular games.
Mahjong has many regional forms and rules. American mahjong is one branch of that living tradition. Before you play, agree on the version and rules your table will use.
