What game are Estelle Costanza and her friends playing in “The Handicap Spot”?
The game is MahJongg and involved little wooden tiles. The game is similar to Rummy; the object is to get the highest score by arranging the tiles into runs (straights) or groups of 3 or more matching tiles. The tiles are traditionally made of ivory, but plastic is acceptable in cheaper sets. A high quality MahJongg set can cost several thousand dollars.
