About this publication

Etiquette begins where the rulebook stops.

Ladies of Mahjong gives groups language for expectations, correction, disagreement, repair, and the ordinary work of returning next week.

Who this is for

Established and forming American Mah Jongg groups navigating the social agreements that official rules do not settle by themselves.

What we own

Etiquette, table manners, house-rule agreements, dead-hand conversations, mixed-skill courtesy, money, cards, rotating-group norms, and conflict.

What belongs elsewhere

General hosting belongs to MahjongHostess; formal tournament procedure belongs to the event authority; women’s history belongs to WomenOfMahjong.

How the voice works

Composed, direct, generous, and specific. Good manners are framed as clarity and repair, not class performance or feminine obedience.

Truth and rules

Distinguish official rule, tournament procedure, house practice, and etiquette. Name the American rules tradition when a ruling is involved.

Commercial standard

Etiquette is not a shopping problem. Any useful card holder or group tool must remain optional and disclosed.
