Searching for Bubbe Fischer: The Path to Mah Jongg Wisdom by Karen Gooen

Buy this book at Amazon or for Kindle

Playing mah jongg is simple. Excelling at it is another matter entirely.

Author Karen Gooen had a plan: if she could find the right mentor, the quintessential mah jongg maven, then perhaps she could master the game. Searching for Bubbe Fischer is the story of her quest to become an expert, and the unexpected wisdom she learned along the way.

The book includes instruction for intermediate and advanced mah jongg players, as well as information about running tournaments, playing three-handed games, etiquette, and more.

Karen Gooen is a writer and mah jongg instructor in Randolph, New Jersey. She has spent years analyzing a ten-minute activity that is fortified by popcorn and M&M’s.
