Join us for a comprehensive 3-class series designed specifically for beginners to learn how to play Mah Jongg! If you've ever heard about the Charleston, BAMS and cracks and wondered what language your friends were speaking or seen the gorgeous sets in the shop and are curious how to play, these classes are for you! You will learn the basics of gameplay, including what all the tiles mean, setup, and fundamental rules for this exciting social game of strategy and luck. This isn't just a lecture, you'll have hands-on experience shuffling tiles and playing as you learn. No prior knowledge needed!
Classes will be taught by Todd Blumenthal, a college professor who has been playing for several years and has taken part in Mah Jongg tournaments.
