    I do not know what you are referring to when you say “foreign players” but I did see a lot of Filipinos in the Philippines playing Mahjong.

    Definitely! I know a Lebanese, a German and a Thai who loves this game so much that they will call us in the middle of the night, looking for ‘legs’ (players).

    You can bet on it!

    Americans are very ignorant when it comes to asianatic culture. Take kungfu hustle for example. The biggest hit in asia but when it came to america theatres it was killed. So I would say the same for Mahjong. The only 1 thing that seems very popular to westerners are the food.

    My friends from the Philippines and I used to play this game for hours and we would wager like 25 cents just for added fun.

    im from the US and I enjoy mahjong. But once I tried to play it on QQ, i got totally confused xD. because i had no idea it could be played with 2 or more people. the rules were quite different too~

    Not really. I can’t think of any equivalent western table-top games where there is so much setup or each round takes so long. And considering how long the game has been around and it’s still not taken up yet.

    I know the basics. Haven’t learnt all the winning combos yet.
