More about The Mahjong Project

Nicole Wong has spent the past few years documenting her family's very specific and complicated house rules for playing mahjong. Along the way, she's collected stories and anecdotes about the game from friends, family members and people in her community, and talked to experts who have studied the game's history and enduring popularity. Her book Mahjong: House Rules from Across the Asian Diaspora is now available for pre-order, and will debut in April 2025.
