Available as a Kindle short read only, this is a personal essay about the author’s experience discovering and learning how to play mahjong, which she thought might be the perfect game for her to pursue in her sixties (at the time). Despite thinking of herself as a non-joiner and a reluctant competitor, when Meredith happened to hear the clicking of mahjong tiles, a long-buried need surfaced. Raised under the influence of a competition-driven father, she had always denied her own killer instincts.
