A Place to Belong.

At Mahj Americana Social, we believe American Mahjong is at its best when it brings people together.
We create welcoming opportunities to learn, play, grow in confidence, and connect with others - whether you are picking up your first tile, joining a friendly game, or competing in league play.

Born in the United States and now living in Cape Town with her family, Steph Price is the founder of Mahj Americana Social.
Steph discovered Mahjong and taught herself how to play, developing her knowledge through practice, friendly games, and league participation.
Her experience playing in two countries shaped her belief that Mahjong is much more than a game. It is an opportunity to meet interesting people, exercise your mind, develop new skills, and become part of a welcoming community.
Steph created Mahj Americana Social to give players in Cape Town a friendly and supportive place to learn and play American Mahjong. Her teaching approach is clear, encouraging, and practical, helping new players feel comfrotable while giving developing players the tools to play with great purpose and confidence.

Everyone is Welcome at the Table
Learn at your own pace
Mahjong can feel unfamiliar at first. Our classes break the game into clear, manageable steps.
Build Confidence Through Play
Understanding develops through practice. We give players space to ask questions, make decisions, and learn by doing.
Connect with Others
The people around the table are as important as the tiles. Mahj Americana Social is a place for conversation, laughter, friendship, and belonging.
Keep Growing
There is always another pattern to recognize, decision to consider, or skill to strengthen.
