These classes will teach you the basics of playing American Mah Jongg according to the National Mah Jongg League Guidelines. The focus will be on tile recognition, rules, strategy, and lots of fun! My classes are small, with great attention to each person’s needs. I will also show you the basics of choosing a Mah Jongg set and have lots of show and tell. You will all be able to play MJ by the end of the sessions! This is also a great class to take if you have taken Mah Jongg and not played in long time.
$150 includes a National Mah Jongg League Card
