We bring the full Mahjong experience, supplying everything needed for a seamless game — including tiles, mats, racks, beginner playing cards, and even tables if needed. Our session includes a comprehensive 3-hour beginner lesson where players will learn the fundamentals, build confidence, and start enjoying the game right away. Each guest will also receive a Mahjong 101 guide to keep, making it easy to continue practicing and playing long after the lesson ends.

2.5 hour class for players who understand the fundamentals. Review of 101, plus strategies of choosing a line, crushing the Charleston, learning the 2026 NMJL card, and more.

About Us

We’re a group of local friends who fell in love with Mahjong and the connections it creates. What started as a shared curiosity quickly turned into a passion—for the strategy, the laughter, and the community that forms around the table. We created this space to bring people together, introduce others to the game, and share our love of Mahjong with anyone who’s eager to learn, play, and connect.
