I became curious about Mahjong after the absolutely iconic Mahjong scene in Crazy Rich Asians. Rachel finally (and rightfully) compels Eleanor to rethink her judge-iness, and I tear up every time. Then, when Kyle’s dad and his fiancée Gretchen visited last January, it was in the negatives outside. We didn’t want to do anything but bundle up and stay warm. Gretchen had recently gotten into Mahjong and offered to teach us how to play. Within an hour, she found a cheap tile set at Barnes and Noble, and we were hooked. If you’ve ever played, you know the magic. Mahjong is cozy and casual but also competitive and strategic, and it pulls you in fast.
