Mah Jongg?

[HALOnlyCruiser]

Has anyone ever played, or seen played a mah jongg game on board? (Probably in the card room, as it takes some space.) I'm speaking of the NMJL 4-person table game with tiles, not the solitaire computer game of matching. The sets are kind of cumbersome to lug around, but if I thought I could find people to play with I would bring one. Anybody? Hands?

You can get a Mah Jongg game from the librarian in the Explorations Café.

Most people I see bring their own games. Many of the games have pieces missing.

On some ships there is board where you can post asking for others to join you.

Card Room -- don't be surprised if you get pushed out of there by people playing unhosted bridge.

My mom and her friend found other players on all their previous cruises. And she is expecting to do the same this year on the Noordam. I'm counting on it also....I don't want to be forced away from the casino.

Thank you, KK and ChickenLady. Yeah, I know about the bridge players. My daughter and I were often scorned for taking up a table playing Scrabble or Canasta.

Our roll call had a group playing:D they brought their stuff but I noticed a lot of sets in the library on the prinsendam - whether pieces were missing though I don't know - pretty sure you can find some players and maybe even on your roll call:D;)

On my February cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam, my MIL and I played two-handed at the Sea View, and had lots of interested viewers, including Crew. Unfortunately, we only and brought the racks for a two player hand and didn't have current cards for more than two people.

 

I know there are sponsored cruises through the national association.

On each of my voyages on HA since 2008, I have had no problem finding others to play MJ onboard.

 

Check with the librarian in the Explorations Cafe. On my most recent cruise on the P-dam, there were not less than 8 sets available for play. I was able to check a set out and keep it for our entire TA crossing. There were at least 4 groups playing in different venues.

 

There may be a sign-up sheet in the library and then those interested may contact each other for play.

 

Post on your roll call and remember to bring your cards & $$$!):)

On our last cruise on the Zaandam, there was a couple playing MJ on the Sea View deck. They seemed to have their own game with tiles and racks.
