Mah Jongg for Beginners (In-Person)
Fall (4-8 hours) | Registration opens 7/29/2025 12:00 AM EDT
Mah Jongg is an ancient Chinese game played with tiles. There are several variants of the game; we will be learning American Mah Jongg. It is a fun game of skill, strategy, and luck. Everyone can learn, and each of us will have a good time learning and playing. No partners are needed, just a group of three or four people. It’s a way to meet new friends, work your brain, and enjoy life. After the classes, I hope all participants will arrange a weekly time at a convenient location (such as a local community center). This course will provide demonstration with practice game play starting from the very first session!
A National Mah Jongg League card is needed to participate. Available for purchase online at https://www.nationalmahjonggleague.org/store.aspx# (The LARGE card is recommended for ease of reading.)

I have been a teacher or supervisor of teachers all my adult life. I have taught in high school, elementary school, and college. While on vacation, I learned Mah Jongg and became hooked. I wanted to share my enjoyment with others, and, not finding anyone to play with in my small town, I taught a class at the Wilmot Community Center in Wilmot, NH. Word spread and we have more than 30 people on our mailing list. The games continue each week throughout the year.
