Hardcover. Etat : New. Mahjong Illustrated: The Sound of Sparrows is a 160-page introduction to the tile-matching game of mahjong, written by Joseph Brant and Xueting C. Ni and published by Amber Books Limited in 2026. The book takes its title from the word mahjong itself - meaning 'sparrow' - and opens with the game's origins in southern China in the early nineteenth century before moving into practical instruction for new players. The book is organized for the beginner. Chapters introduce the full set of 144 tiles, explain the rules and the flow of play, and work through the strategic elements that go beyond luck: pattern recognition, understanding an opponent's hand, and knowing the difference between a kong and a pong. Honour tiles - the four winds and the three dragons - receive their own treatment, as do the mechanics of shuffling and stacking to start a game and the conditions for completing a legal hand. Popular variants and competitive formats are covered as well. The subject sits at the intersection of games, culture, and craft - mahjong is presented not only as a puzzle to be solved but as a social practice with a long history across East Asia and a growing following in North America. It will appeal to anyone curious about the game, whether they are picking up tiles for the first time or looking for a well-illustrated reference. Published in 2026 by Amber Books Limited.

Mahjong Illustrated (Hardcover)
Vendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding with 125 illustrations and photographs, Mahjong Illustrated will fascinate anyone interested in one of the world's most widely-played games. The clickety-clack of mahjong tiles being mixed by a group of friends is one of the most soothing and distinctive sounds found across East Asia and, increasingly, North America. First developed in southern China in the early 19th century, mahjong meaning 'sparrow' is a fun and popular game that tasks you with solving a tile-matching puzzle before you run out of moves. Played by four people using 144 tiles, mahjong is not just a game of luck; it requires strategy, pattern recognition, and an understanding of the other players' tactics. Mahjong Illustrated introduces this highly engaging and competitive game, which helps develop concentration and mental agility while at the same time building relationships and a sense of community. The book is divided into chapters designed for the beginner, offering a brief background history, with introductions to the tiles, rules, playing the game, and popular variants and competitions. Find out how to shuffle and stack tiles to start the game; learn the difference between a kong and a pong and how this can win you points; understand the significance of the honour tiles, including the four winds and the three dragons; and find out what 'winning from the wall' means to complete a 'legal hand'.
