Mah-jong is a tile-based game created during the Qing Dynasty in early 19th century China. Learning to play is a great way to connect with others as you’ll need to negotiate, communicate, and cooperate to play successfully.

Learn how to play the game from an experienced player, or join us to find partners of all levels to play with.
