Two-Day Pop-Up Beginner Mahjong

Join us for a two-evening beginner Mahjong intensive!

Monday, September 7 • 5:30–8:00 PM
Tuesday, September 8 • 5:30–8:00 PM

This is one class meeting over two evenings, and attendance on both nights is required.

This two-evening beginner class is designed to give you a strong foundation in American Mahjong, with the material spread over two shorter sessions.

We'll cover:

• Mahjong tiles, racks and basic terminology

• How to read and use the NMJL card

• Building and recognizing hands

• The Charleston

• Picking, discarding and calling tiles

• Jokers and exposures

• Table etiquette

• Winning a hand and the basics of scoring

• Plenty of hands-on practice throughout the class

And then the real learning begins.

Mahjong is a game you learn by playing. That's why your class doesn't end when you walk out the door.

Guided Play sessions are available as a follow-up to your lesson, giving you a chance to practice what you've learned, ask questions, work through those “Wait... what am I supposed to do now?” moments, and build confidence at the table.

What's included

• Five hours of instruction and hands-on practice

• Mahjong tiles, racks and playing materials provided for use during class

• Beginner reference materials

• Light refreshments

• 2026 NMJL card available as an add-on

No previous Mahjong experience is necessary.
