An object of fascination, mahjong occupies a special place in the world of games. Who hasn't been intrigued at one time or another by the ideograms subtly drawn on the tiles and the splendor of the materials used?
Likewise, those who have had the chance to travel to China have most certainly encountered, at the turn of a street or in a square, players seated around a table playing mah-jong.
This book is first and foremost an invitation to play. It includes a mahjong game with complete rules that will help you get started with your first games.
But you'll also learn how mahjong traveled between East and West. The game wouldn't exist without its players, which is why a chapter of this book is dedicated to them. Finally, since the fascination with mahjong also extended to writers, you'll be invited on a literary journey, between Agatha Christie and Fred Vargas.
