Singaporean style only! I started this hobby in January at my local library and became obsessed. I’ve taught friends and family, and help teach other beginners at the library when needed. Mahjong has brought so much joy into my life I figured why not share it here. Disclaimer; I’d still consider myself a beginner and I do not claim to be an expert. This is the way I was taught and I more so just want to encourage everyone to try this hobby because it’s so special to learn. I really love the community aspect and learning more about how this game came to be. It’s so important to learn the history of this game and respect it. #mahjong
