American Mah Jongg


Adult Enrichment / Games & Travel -
Winter 2026

Learn to play this fun and fascinating game that combines a Chinese set of tiles with American rules and strategy. You will need your own official 2025 National Mah Jongg League card, which can be purchased when you register.

Beginner: We will cover the fundamentals of the game, progressing through familiarity with the tiles, building the wall, understanding the Charleston series of tile exchanges, and learning the hands. 

Advanced Beginner: For players who already know the basics of how to play and want to develop skills and confidence, or just need a refresher. We will focus on choosing a hand, keeping your options open, and refining knowledge of the rules. Gain speed and mastery as you increase your knowledge of the game.

Supervised Open Play: Improve your mah jongg skills in a friendly, supportive environment. With guidance from the instructor, you’ll practice playing more efficiently, strengthen your decision-making, sharpen your defensive play, and expand your ability to select new hands as the game unfolds.
