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 (community center, school, etc.) to practice, play, and become excellent players. Most Mah Jongg players play a weekly game. Those who tried to play Mah Jongg some time ago or who are very rusty are most welcome. Come join us! Participants must purchase the 2019 card published by the National Mah Jongg League prior to the first class.

  • Required Materials:
  • • National Mah Jongg League 2019 card (Order online at https://www.nationalmahjonggleague.org/index.aspx)

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.
