[REGISTRATIONS CLOSED 1/29/24] Mah Jongg is a popular Chinese game played with a set of
tiles. Like many popular games, Mah Jongg has several regional variations, from
the Chinese prevailing wind system to American Mah Jongg with special
bingo-like scoring cards. Over 6 weeks, participants will get a crash course on
American (or Western) Mah Jongg – the version played at the club. The rules and
strategies needed to play the game can be intimidating at first, but once they
become second nature, the real fun can begin! Luckily, there are lots of online
resources at your disposal, from Facebook pages where other beginners ask basic
questions to entire websites dedicated to learning the game. The goal is to learn
well enough that you are comfortable playing at the clubhouse or at your
neighborhood pool. Participants will be provided a National Mah Jongg League
card for instructional purposes. The last two weeks will feature friendly play
alongside experienced players who can help answer questions in real time.
Purpose: Learn the game of Mah Jongg as played at Spring Run
Facilitators: Susan Crandall, Peggy Schick |
