History

During the 1920’s when Wright-Patterson AFB was still McCook Field, Mah Jongg players began to compile their own rules and hands based on the ancient Chinese game. The first edition of the rule book was the work of Sylva Bauer and Helen Morris. The basis of the current book has been the cumulative experience of 70 years of service-connected Mah Jongg players.

In 1963, Wright-Patterson rules were copyrighted to continue the process of standardization. Unlike international rules we do not allow the use of wild tiles/jokers.  These rules allow one to move from base to base and post to post and still play the same game.  In 2003 the rules were revised and 12 new hands added so that even the most expert player will be challenged.
