I don't play very well, but I have a lot of fun. Do you or members of your family play this game? Is it played mostly by men or women or both?

The Mah Jong game has a long history in China. In old time the tich have nothing to entertain. They invented the gambling game to paly. Ago the whole families stayed together to paly. Sometimes some friends did that. Now it is still popular in Chinese area, China, HongKong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia. Some people use it as one gambling tool. So the government prohibit people use it as gambling. Some people would lose all their possession to rob of other people. It is very funny to entertain, not gambling. Both women and men may do it. It is easy to learn. Some children can paly it. I do it bad. I am afraid that I will paly gambling with it so I paly it little.
