WELCOME TO
The Mahj Lodge
Whether you are new to American Mahjong or looking to advance your game, we offer lessons, play nights, and community events that help you learn, compete, and have fun in the Twin Cities. We enjoy creating environments where learning is social and fun—a place where you can ask questions, explore new hands, and immerse yourself in the rhythm of the tiles alongside others who share your enthusiasm. From introductory classes to casual open-play sessions, The Mahj Lodge is here to help you discover the game, connect with fellow players, and become part of a vibrant Mahjong community in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Why the
The Mahj Lodge?
We are four Twin Cities moms who fell in love with Mahjong’s blend of strategy, laughter, and connection. Between full-time jobs, families, weekly trips to Trader Joe’s, and game nights, we created The Mahj Lodge to share the fun — no experience required.
