By Tom Sloper

Click the entries in this list to read the columns. (Use the scroll bar at right to scroll down through the list.) Reader feedback is welcomed. Did we get something wrong? Got a better strategy than the way described in a particular column? Or just a question about terminology? And please tell us which kind of mah-jongg you play (especially if your variant is under-represented). CLICK HERE to comment on these columns!

* Columns written before this date didn't yet have an established format. Column #15 marks the beginning of the standard format. You don't really need to see #s 1-14.
** For more information about authors describing a particular style of mah-jongg, and for Tom Sloper's naming conventions for mah-jongg styles, see FAQ 2b.
*** Unless otherwise noted, "American" means NMJL. May 6, 2003 marked the start of a revised daily schedule, in which American and Chinese Official both are featured three times a week, with Wednesday being the day when other variants are considered.
**** Starting with column #101, the column went from daily to weekly. Actually, three weekly columns - one each week for American, Japanese, and Chinese Official mah-jongg, posted on Sundays. Then, starting September 28th, the column went to once weekly (see Column #131).
***** You can read my excuse for the lateness of column #149 here. If you really need to.
