Mahjong 101
Group Mahjong 101
Group Mahjong 101 is a beginner‑friendly class designed for small groups who want to learn American Mahjong together. This session is ideal for 3–4 players and offers flexible instruction based on your group size. If you come with three players, your instructor can sit in as the fourth to help guide the table. If you come with four, the instructor will teach all players from the outside and support the table as you learn. This class covers tile identification, table setup, using the NMJL card, understanding basic rules, and playing through guided practice rounds. You’ll learn by doing- building hands, drawing and discarding, calling tiles, and experiencing the flow of a real game with hands‑on support. Group Mahjong 101 is a relaxed, social way to learn the game together, whether you’re friends, family, coworkers, or a new group looking for a shared hobby. All equipment is provided, and no experience is needed. Booked Hourly @ $50/hour/table
