Mah Jongg for Beginners (IP)
Fall (7 to 10.5 hours) | Registration opens 8/13/2026 12:00 AM EDT
Mah Jongg is an ancient Chinese game played with tiles. There are several variants of the game; we will be learning American Mah Jongg. It is a fun game of skill, strategy, and luck. Everyone can learn, and each of us will have a good time learning and playing. No partners are needed, just two, three, or four people. It’s a way to meet new friends, work your brain, and enjoy life. After the classes, I hope all participants will arrange a weekly time to practice at a convenient location (such as a local community center). This course will combine instruction with game play starting from the very first session! It is very important to attend all four sessions as each session of this course builds upon the previous session. If you know ahead of time that you cannot attend all four sessions please do not register. A 2026 National Mah Jongg League card is needed to participate. It is available to order online at https://www.nationalmahjonggleague.ort/store.aspx#

I have been a teacher or supervisor of teachers all my adult life. I have taught in high school, elementary school, and college. While on vacation, I learned Mah Jongg and became hooked. I wanted to share my enjoyment with others, and, not finding anyone to play with in my small town, I taught a class at the Wilmot Community Center in Wilmot, NH. Word spread and we have more than 30 people on our mailing list. The games continue each week throughout the year.
