Museums Special Section – Recalling the Craze for a Game of Chance – NYTimes.com.

Tonight seems to be the night for revisiting old friends and old blogs.  I love to play Mah Jongg and my friends know it – I received at least 3 copies of this article and I had the paper myself.  Last Thursday, an article on Mah Jongg appeared and I’d like to share it with you.  My love of the game developed a couple of years ago.  It’s not genetic, my mother didn’t play, my grandmother didn’t play, I’m not Jewish and I’m not Asian but I do love to play certain games and I like to collect things. So 14 Mah Jongg sets later (these are big items to collect!) I have become a discriminating owner of some unusual sets.  There is a picture in the article of a score card I’ve never seen before.  Anyway,  I think you’ll enjoy the article.
