Our bets are waaay low (P1.00, P2.00). We don’t really mind though as our main objective is to share stories as we wash the tiles, build our walls and play away. I learned mahjong when I was about 11 or 12, mostly by observing how the grown-ups played. Eventually my cousins and I took over the mahjong table, or put up another table, and stories continued to flow. I love how mahjong has bridged generation gaps in our family. The family that plays together, stays together.
