Curious about American Mah Jongg? Come meet other local players, learn the basics, and give the game a try!
Whether you're completely new to Mah Jongg or already know your way around the tiles, join us for a casual afternoon of learning and playing.
We'll begin with a short introduction to American Mah Jongg, including the tiles, racks, National Mah Jongg League (NMJL) card, and the basic objective of the game. We'll also demonstrate how a game works, including the Charleston, drawing and discarding, and building a hand.
Then we'll get playing! Beginners can try a simplified, open-hand version with guidance from experienced players, while those who already play can meet other local Mah Jongg enthusiasts and share their experience.
This is a mixer and an opportunity to see whether there's interest in forming an ongoing Mah Jongg group at the library. No experience or equipment is necessary for this session.
Everyone is welcome! Registration encouraged; drop-ins welcome.
