SilkeHoltmann Maj jong!! My Favourite!!!

JuliaGotz BTW, I'm pretty sure that the Maj jong that you play on the computer is not the same game as the one potopoet is talking about. The computer game uses the images of real Maj jong tiles, and involves matching pairs of tiles to make them disappear. Real Maj jong is a much more complicated game, like the difference between checkers and chess.

JuliaGotz Excellent, outstanding set. I love it.
JuliaGotz · 2007-05-09: 10:41
JuliaGotz I hope you will show some of your brush painting. I tried to learn, but I didn't have the talent.

Aniruddha Beautiful shots. The first and the fourth..... best off the lot for me.

photopoet JuliaGotz is correct. The maj jong game my mother and her friends played was quite complicated. I never learned how to play, but I loved the tiles.
