Could you please pass on this link – Mahjong-BritishRules.com/News – to your U3A Mah-Jong group members.
The website page gives a link a pdf ebook I have just published called “How to play Mah-Jong remotely”.
It explains how it is possible to play a version of Mah-Jong – not too far removed from the normal one – without having to leave your home to meet up with other people. It doesn’t require any special online games software. You only need to to be able to use Skype or a similar application – and to have a Mah-Jong set in your home.
Being able to play the game this way may seem unlikely, but I have been doing so regularly now since April and it works very well (at least for two couples using desktop computers).
Three or four individuals, in their own homes, might also be able to play together using something like Zoom. I have been told that laptops work OK, but I have not yet had any feedback on smaller devices.
My experience with British rules, and some initial feedback, indicates that the workarounds can be applied to many other forms of the game. The book goes into some detail about how all this might be done.
Covid-19 has, no doubt, left a lot of Mah-Jong players feeling stranded – unable to have their regular game with their friends and club members. I am hoping my ideas will help alleviate this a little.
I am a longstanding member of the Peterborough U3A Mah-Jong group and created this, now very popular, website (Mahjong-BritishRules.com) over 10 years ago.
