About this event

🀄✨ Mahjong 101 — Let’s Actually Play This Thing ✨🀄

Mahjong 101 is the perfect starting point for anyone ready to learn American Mahjong in a supportive, hands‑on environment. This 2.5‑hour class walks you through the fundamentals of the game and gives you plenty of guided practice so everything clicks as you go.

You’ll learn how the tiles work, what the NMJL card is, how to choose a hand, and how the flow of the game unfolds from start to finish. Whether you’re brand‑new, returning after years away, or finally ready to learn the game everyone’s talking about, Mahjong 101 gives you the skills — and the spark — to start playing with ease.

⭐ What You’ll Learn

• Tile Recognition & Sorting: Get comfortable with the suits, winds, dragons, jokers, and how to organize your rack.

• How to Read the NMJL Card Understand how the card is structured, what the patterns mean, and how to choose a starting hand.

• Charleston Basics Learn the purpose of the Charleston, what to pass, and how to strengthen your hand from the start.

• Game Flow & Table Etiquette: Calling tiles, exposures, turns, and how a full round works from deal to Mahjong.

• Guided Beginner Play You’ll practice building hands and play with instructor support, so everything “clicks” in real time.

⭐ Who This Class Is Perfect For

• Beginners ready to actually play

• Attendees who completed Intro to Mahj and want the next step (Intro is not a requirement)

• Anyone who learns best with structure, support, and a little humor

• People who want to stop guessing and start understanding
