Join us in a two part class to learn how to play American Mah Jongg.

This is an introductory class on how to play American Mah Jongg in two parts. Attendees will be taught American style 4-persson Mah Jongg using the National Mah Jongg League (NMJL) rules and the 2026 NMJL card. The curriculum will follow NMJL’s Instruction book, Mah Jongg Made Easy (revised 2024).

This is a two-part series, and registrants will automatically be signed up for both sessions upon registration. 

In part one on November 1, we'll cover:

And finish with guided play.
