Mahjong: Easy to Learn, Delightfully Challenging to Master. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just curious about this growing craze, you’re invited to our weekly Mahjong meetups!
The basics are simple enough to pick up in an afternoon – but there’s a world of strategy waiting to be explored. That’s what makes Mahjong the perfect mix of fun, challenge, and community. Whether you’ve never heard of Mahjong or play every week, this is an informal, friendly space to learn, laugh, and play.
If you have a Mahjong set or a National Mah Jongg League card, please bring — if not, no problem! We’ll have everything you need.
