[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 10101260, member: 360"]One of my vintage sets got a solid workout today!! My brother, my cousin, her husband, and I, all know how to play mahjong, having learned it at various times in our lives. My cousin-in-law and I both learned it as kids, my brother learned it from my SIL, and my cousin learned it from her husband. But my cousin's sister had never learned. Today, during the family Christmas luncheon, she demanded to learn how to play!... [ATTACH=full]506987[/ATTACH] My cousin teaching her sister the finer points of the game... [ATTACH=full]506988[/ATTACH] My brother lending further instruction... [ATTACH=full]506989[/ATTACH] Shuffling the tiles! Or what's called "dry swimming". [ATTACH=full]506991[/ATTACH] Building the walls, and commencing gameplay... [ATTACH=full]506993[/ATTACH] My cousin won!!...beginner's luck, right? [ATTACH=full]506994[/ATTACH] So yes, just because sets are vintage, or even antique, is no reason not to play with them. This set is the better part of 80 years old, and it's no worse for wear having been smacked around for four hours. Whenever my family gets together (Christmas, Easter, Chinese New Year, etc), we always find an excuse to have a game of mahjong!! :)[/QUOTE]
