Mahj 101: Learn to Play
Perfect for complete beginners, this relaxed two-hour lesson gives you a practical understanding of how to join and play a beginner-friendly game.
Service Description
We begin with the tiles, the Mahjong card and the language you will hear around the table. You will learn how to set up the game, follow the Charleston and understand the rhythm of drawing and discarding.
We cover calling tiles, using jokers, reading possible hands and seeing how a winning hand comes together. Then you put the ideas into practice through calm, guided play with support nearby.
No previous experience is required and all playing materials are provided. Come ready to learn, ask questions and enjoy meeting new people around the table. The standard lesson is two hours; current price and live dates appear below.
