Mahjong & Stress Relief - Almost Seems Like Oxymoron!
There is no denying that playing Mahjong can be stressful. Trying to pick a category - let alone a hand, pivot when necessary, and contain the impulse to use a joker in a pair (IYKYK!) are just some of the elements that can make your heart race. But at the same time, it can make you laugh until your side hurts and hours will pass in what seems like moments. No doubt there are stressful moments but it's totally different then our regular life stress. So while the title of this article may seem like an oxymoron, I think it's spot on... I do, however, think they left out the best tiles to play with, those from OhMyMahjong! (see the link under Our Faves).
I also love this quote: "For a few decades, Mahjong was a retirement home favorite, and now, it’s trending once again. This time, it’s making a splash with millennial and Gen Z women — particularly those across the South looking for an organized, recurring (and competitive) way to gather socially." Just wait, Southern friends, we're bringing Mahjong to Boston and surrounds! The buzz is just starting!
Grab some friends and jump on board - let's get you stressing but not stressing over a game! ;-)
