Websites which have not been included

Only English language Mah-Jong websites are listed and I’ve tended to exclude those just giving descriptions of other rules.  There are many of them, and you can find an exhaustive listing of such sites in Tom Slopper’s FAQs.   A number of the sites I have included do have good descriptions of many types of rules.

I’ve also avoided including many of the sites which only concern themselves with online and other computer based games.  A number of sites have been included which give plenty of entries into this side of Mah-Jong.

There’s a large body of  “Mah-Jong”  videos in You Tube.  I’ve just included a small sample – those that I judged to be of most interest.
