Mahjong is a traditional Chinese game using illustrated tiles, with game play similarities to rummy. It was imported to the USA from China in the 1920s and has since become popular all over the world. At Mahjong for Beginners, you will learn to recognize the different tiles in a Mahjong set and practice the basics of play.

In today's job search, your online presence can make a first impression before you ever walk through the door.
