Learn to Play American Mah Jongg Price- $300
Discover the timeless charm of Mah Jongg, a tile-based game that traces its roots back to 14th-century China and gained popularity in the West during the 1920s. In this beginner-friendly series, you’ll learn how to play American Mah Jongg—a version known for its strategic play, Jokers, racks, and the annually updated “Hands and Rules” card from the National Mah Jongg League.
Over the course of three weekly sessions (2 hours each), you’ll learn:
The history and structure of the game
How to recognize and use the tiles
How to read and understand the official scorecard (required to play)
Game setup, tile exchange, and strategies for choosing a hand
Beginner-level play with hands-on practice and guided instruction
By the final session, you’ll be confidently playing the game and making decisions based on both skill and luck—the heart of what makes Mah Jongg so engaging. All materials are provided, except for the score card, which can be purchased separately through the National Mah Jongg League.
