A step-by-step guide to Mahjong for new and seasoned players alike.
For many third-culture kids in the Asian diaspora, the sight and sound of clacking mahjong tiles conjures deep-seated memories. Some learned to play alongside elders, while others watched from afar. Maybe you only distantly know of the game through movies or articles about pop-up mahjong nights. Whether you are looking to reconnect with the game, pick up a new hobby, or introduce others to a favorite pastime, Mahjong is a step-by-step guide for new and seasoned players alike.
With vibrant photography and detailed instructional diagrams, author Nicole Wong walks you through gameplay, just how her grandfather would have. In addition, Mahjong delves into the strategy, history, and design of the game and discusses various popular styles of play (American mah-jongg, Japanese riichi mahjong, and more). A bonus essay also breaks down the mahjong hands in the pivotal scene from the 2018 hit film Crazy Rich Asians, and snippets of the author’s family history are sprinkled throughout, telling a story of diaspora through mahjong and showcasing mahjong culture, past and present.
With Mahjong as your guide, learn the history and evolution of this beautiful game while you connect with friends, family, and culture. You may even write your own house rules—just don’t forget the snacks!

We have more in common than you might think. In fact, that's kind of the point of this game. This Venn diagram-based party game by Brass Monkey is all about finding (hopefully) hilarious similarities between two random (and we mean random) things. Just draw the included red and blue discs to create unexpected pairings (like the Month of February and Tom Cruise*) and then compete with friends to try to find the funniest thing that they both have in common. *We recommend: Shorter than average.
• Includes 100 red & 100 blue 'topics' to pair together.
• Not to mention 520 different pre-written 'answers.'
• Psst: You also have the option to come up with your own answers (since you obviously think you're more clever than we are).
• The outer box measures 5.8" wide by 3.7" tall by 3.5" deep-that's 147mm by 94mm by 89mm if you're fancy.
• Suitable for 3-8+ players. Go crazy.
