It was at a friend's grad party. I learned how to play when I was in middle school and played a handful of times when I was younger and in high school, but haven't played in years. Helped my other friend teach everyone else, and then we started playing. I never got why my parents and their friends would play for hours on end on Saturday nights when I was growing up, but after playing "seriously" last night, I can see why they would do it. It's addictive.
For those who don't know how to play, the tiles are like a deck of cards. You're dealt sixteen of them, and you take turns drawing, discarding, and taking from what other people discard in order to make a winning hand- usually five "sets" consisting of either straights (1-2-3, 4-5-6, etc.) or triples (3-3-3, 7-7-7, etc.) and one pair. There are other rules, but that's the basics.
We didn't gamble though. I leave that to the pros.

I played for the first time a while ago. My ex's family was big into mahjong.

What's with the kind of mahjong where you remove tiles? Like the kind that's packaged with Windows now?

Willis, it seems like every other time you post, I need to look up a word that's in the OED or Urban Dictionary but not both.
-Mimir
That's solitaire Mahjong which no one actually plays.
