Vibes needed. I've become addicted to Mah Jong.

I'm Critters, and I'm powerless over those little Mah Jong tiles. My life has become (even more) unmanageable.

12. Well, unless you're an albatross

My friend has a collection of stuff taken from the stomachs of albatrosses, and there's about a whole Mah Jong set there. :P

3. We have a Mah Jongg set that is at least 60 years old, possibly even 80 years old.

I'm pretty sure my grandparents bought it when my grandfather was stationed in China in the 1920s. Carved ivory tiles, the whole bit. I still don't know how to play it though.

7. Wow! I'll bet that's beautiful. Worth a pretty penny, too.

It's surprisingly easy to play. I just discovered it on my laptop over the weekend, read the instructions, and began my downward spiral.

10. Yeah I really should learn.

I'll get the set out and take a picture of it soon. I believe the ivory tiles are inlaid with jade in some spots. Even the wooden box with the drawers is pretty neat.

18. It came installed in my laptop.

I could hunt for an online version or download though. Be forewarned, though..."mah jong" is Chinese for "crack".

17. Heh

I have mastered crab, spider, and cat. I win everytime, and have moved on to counting score.

I am also working on my fortress and skull. I am up to about 50%, so its nearing time to worry about score. Figuring out how things are scored took me a while.
