    Keep culture and tradition alive at the mahjong table


How do we keep family traditions alive? For some people, it’s by speaking their heritage language, or learning how to cook family recipes. For Nicole Wong, it was through games — specifically, learning the ins and outs of Mahjong. Her research led her to start the Mahjong Project, and to write a book about what she was learning called Mahjong: House Rules from Across the Asian Diaspora. So this week, we talk to Nicole about what it’s like trying to teach people a game you’re not the best player of, and what she’s learned about leveling up to elder/auntie status.
