GOOD TO KNOW:
Thinking about joining a Mahjong tournament but feeling a little intimidated? This class is for you! Designed for independent players who are curious about competitive play, this session walks you through exactly what to expect - from scoring and timing to etiquette and pacing. Tournament games are a bit more fast-paced and focused than your usual social match, but with the right prep, they can be incredibly fun and rewarding.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Seats are limited to keep the experience personal and engaging
- Registrations are non-refundable; please make every effort to attend your chosen session. In case of an emergency, you may send someone in your place, or I’ll do my best to help you reschedule.

FAQ
Can anyone play?
Absolutely! Mahjong might look a little tricky at first, but with the right guidance (that’s where I come in!), it starts to click quickly and you’ll be hooked before you know it.
Everyone is welcome - especially complete beginners! Mahjong 101 is designed for those who are brand new to the game, so no experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity, and you’ll be playing in no time! No matter your background, experience, or learning style, you’re in the right place.
Does Mahjong require math?
Don't worry, no! You don't need any math skills or other superpowers. Just an open mind, desire to have fun, and enjoyment of a little learning along the way. As the saying goes - if I can play it, so can you!
Do you always need four people to play Mahjong?
Nope! While four players is the standard, you can absolutely play with three people and still have a great game. If it’s just the two of you, there are fun ways to adapt the game as well - because Mahjong is too good to sit out just because you’re missing a player!
What do I need to bring to a group class?
Nothing, just a positive attitude and an open mind! I have everything needed for an immersive learning experience. Eventually, you’ll need the official National Mah Jongg League card to play, but no rush - I’ll have them available for purchase during class for $20, or you can order one directly from the League anytime after class at your convenience.
