Beginner Tips
- Keep your National Mahjongg League card nearby.
- Start by identifying a few neighborhoods that work with your tiles.
- Don't panic if your plan changes—it usually will!
- Stay flexible throughout the game.
- Focus on learning, not winning.
- The more hands you play, the faster everything starts to click.
Need a Confidence Boost?
If you've taken Mahjong 101 but still aren't quite ready for regular Open Play, Guided Play was created just for you.
We'll review the deal, practice the Charleston, talk through strategy, answer questions, and help you gain confidence while you play—with plenty of one-on-one guidance along the way.
It's the perfect bridge between class and independent play.
Questions?
We're always happy to help.
If you have a question about a rule, strategy, or anything you learned in class, don't hesitate to reach out or ask us during your next visit.
We can't wait to see you around the table.
Happy playing!
