Learn to Play American Mahjong – 3-Week Series

Ready to discover why mahjong is such a beloved game? This three-session workshop introduces you to American mahjong in a calm, supportive setting with instructor Cathy Ward. The first two classes keep enrollment to just 8 people, ensuring you get plenty of personalized attention and practice time. Each session runs 90 minutes, and everything you need—tiles, reference guides, and materials—is provided. You'll progress from learning tile identification and the official National Mah Jongg League card through building actual hands and playing by the rules. The series wraps up with a special Guided Play Night, where you'll join other local mahjong players in a larger, more social setting while Cathy continues to support your learning. This game sharpens focus and pattern recognition while delivering genuine fun once you understand it. New players receive a 2026 NMJL card to take home. Registration is $55 and required in advance; note that the series is all-or-nothing, with no refunds for missed individual sessions. Advance payment confirms your spot.
