Mah-jongg

Class Description

The class will begin with an introduction to Mah-jongg which is a tile-based game (144 tiles) consisting of 3 suits, winds and dragons played by 4 individuals. We will discuss the history and other interesting facts about Mah-jongg. Various forms of Mah-jongg exist. The class will cover three of the most frequently played in the U.S. which are Chinese, Taiwanese, and American. During each session, there will be time to participate and play a game. I learned to play Mah-jongg in the mid-1990s and have been teaching it informally. Studies have shown positive outcomes from participating in this game which include cognitive, social, and emotional benefits. To play American Mah-Jongg each student will need to have a 2025 American Mah-Jongg card. Mondays, 12:30 - 2:30 In Person: B5 Class Limit: 12
