Classes for Beginners
You’ve heard about Mah Jongg — maybe seen it at a friend’s table, or you just know it’s having a moment. You haven’t played before, or barely have. This is exactly where you start.
Abbe Recommends
“Trust me on this one — four lessons is the sweet spot. Two lessons will scratch the surface, but four is where it really clicks. Make it a commitment with your friends. You’ll be so glad you did.”
#1 Recommendation for Beginners
Mah Jongg for Beginners — 4-Week Series — $200
This daytime or evening class series is the best, most comprehensive way to learn Mahj! Our 4-week series is the sweet spot for building a strong foundation and knowledge. We’ll take you through the basics, cover rules and etiquette, and build on your knowledge each week. By week 4 you will be soaring!
Week 1
Learn the tiles, the card, and play a full game. Expect to feel challenged — that’s normal.
Week 2
Review Week 1, more rules, play a couple of games together.
Week 3
Build on everything — more rules, more games, picking up the pace.
Week 4
Guided play. You know what you’re doing. Learn 3-player and 2-player Mahj.
Additional Class Info
The first class is essential — you cannot miss it. You will not catch up.
Plan for that first class to run up to 30 minutes longer.
No experience needed — zero.
All tiles, racks, and cards provided. Just bring yourself.
Available daytime and evenings.
Level Up & Leagues
If it’s been a while since your last lesson and you want to refresh and level up your play, there’s a class for you. Here’s what we focus on:
Strategic Hand Selection
Moving past basic hand matching to build toward broader categories rather than locking into a single line too early.
Mastering the Charleston
Making confident, high-level decisions on what to keep, pass, or discard during the passing phases.
Defensive Play
Reading opponents’ discards and exposed tiles to figure out what hands others are building, and avoiding dangerous “hot” tiles.
Flexibility and Pivoting
Learning when and how to switch hands mid-game based on wall draws or tiles circulating at the table.
Speed and Flow
Increasing playing speed and mechanical confidence (picking, racking, and discarding) to keep a smooth game pace.
Join a League
Ready to play regularly? Our leagues are social, organized seasonal groups where players meet weekly to play games, track scores, and build local community — without the intense pressure of formal tournaments.
Classes for Building Skills
You’ve taken a class or played a few times. You know the basics, but the rules aren’t fully clicking, strategy feels fuzzy, or you feel like you’re slowing people down. That’s completely normal — and fixable.
Abbe Recommends
“I want to put people out into the world prepared. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you slow people down and it’s frustrating for everyone — including you. Mahj 102 fills in some of the gaps.”
Mahj 102 — $70
You’ve played a few times — maybe taken a class or two — and you’re starting to get it, but something isn’t quite clicking yet. Mahj 102 picks up where you left off. No going back to square one. We build on what you already know and fill in the gaps.
In This Class
Deeper rules, common mistakes, and real strategy. More hands-on play at a faster pace. You’ll leave feeling like the game is starting to click.
Additional Class Info
Best for students who’ve taken 101 or played a handful of times.
All tiles, racks, and cards provided. Just bring yourself.
Not sure if 101 or 102 is right for you? Get in touch and we’ll help you choose.
Ready to Play
You’ve got your card, you know the rules, and you’re ready to play for real. You don’t need another lesson — you need people to play with and a community to belong to.
Abbe Recommends
“Come to a mixer. Nothing accelerates your game faster than playing with other people at your level. And the community you find there is the whole reason I started this club.”
Mah Jongg Mixer — $30
Casual, social, competitive play sessions. Seated by pace and level — laughter, clicking tiles, friendly competition, and almost certainly new friends.
What to Expect
Real games at a real pace, seated with players at your level. The best way to build speed and confidence between classes.
Additional Info
Best for players who know the rules and have played a handful of games.
New mixer dates are added regularly — join the email list to hear first.
Community & Play
Know the rules and want more time at the table? Open Play and our league are where the club comes together — regular games, a welcoming room, and new faces every week.
Open Play
Come make yourself comfortable at the Club and enjoy Open Play with fellow Mah Jongg players. A great opportunity to practice, meet other players, and enjoy a relaxed game in our welcoming space.
Good to Know
Open Play is not a lesson — no instruction is provided, so you should be comfortable playing independently and know the rules.
Capacity is limited to 12 players per session (minimum of 4).
Mini Mahj League — Tuesday Evenings
A four-week league for players who enjoy strategy, connection, and consistent weekly play. Players rotate tables so you meet and play with everyone, and points add up across the session with prizes at the end.
Good to Know
Tuesday evenings, 6:30–9 pm. Be in your seat and ready to play by 6:30 sharp.
Everyone plays at the same expected pace: 3 games per hour.
Players should already know the basics of American Mah Jongg.
The first evening may run slightly longer while we review league format and rules.
