Mahjong 101 Lesson

About this event

You don't need to know a single thing about Mahjong to walk in the door. Mahjong 101 is our beginner class, built for people who've always wanted to learn American Mahjong and just needed someone to slow down and explain it.

We'll cover the basics: the tiles, the wall, the Charleston, and how to actually read the NMJL card — the stuff that makes mahjong feel less like a secret language and more like a game you can play. No experience needed. No judgment for asking the same question twice.

By the end, you'll have played through the Charleston, built hands, and played real rounds at a real table. Come solo, come with a friend, come because you've been meaning to for years.

We intentionally keep class sizes small so you get real one-on-one time with your instructor. It's easier to ask questions — and actually get answers — in a smaller setting.

What's included:

• 2 hours of instruction

• Everything you need to play

• Mahjong guidebook

• Drinks and light snacks

Cancellations & No-Shows

Every seat at our events matters, which is why all ticket purchases are non-refundable. Mahjong is built around full tables, and when a seat goes empty without notice, it changes the game for everyone else at the table.

If something comes up and you can't make an event you've registered for, let us know at least 24 hours beforehand. That gives us time to offer your seat to someone on the waitlist. We know life happens; we just need that heads up to try to fill your seat for someone else.

Photography Heads-up: we photograph and film our events for social media and marketing. By joining us, you're okay with appearing in those photos and videos. If you'd rather not be featured, just let us know when you arrive — we're always happy to keep you out of frame.
