If you’re brand new to Mahjong, you’re in the right place.

In this friendly, beginner, hands-on intro class, we’ll cover everything from tile basics to reading the NMJL card, breaking down the Charleston, and practicing real hands of play. Our goal is simple: to help you understand the game and enjoy learning it.

You’ll walk away with a strong understanding of how American Mahjong works — and the confidence to join a game for the first time

Come curious. Leave ready to play.

You know the fundamentals, let’s grow your skills.

This Mahjong class is designed for early players who understand the suits, the NMJL card, and the basic flow of the game, but want to play with more confidence and strategy. We’ll refine tile recognition, improve hand selection, and strengthen your decision-making through guided practice and full rounds of play.

You will learn how to optimize discards, read exposures, avoid common mistakes, and think more defensively as you anticipate opponents’ moves. We’ll revisit essentials like building walls and the Charleston while helping you transition from beginner play to more strategic, thoughtful Mahjong.

Ideal for anyone who has completed an intro Mahjong class (or 3!) or played a few games of Mahjong and is ready to take the next step.

Come ready to learn, leave playing with confidence.

Come for the fun, leave looking forward to next time.
