Sit down
We hand you a rack and a card. Nothing to buy first, nothing to study, no idea what a bam is required.
Lessons
Learn the game.
Love the gathering.
American Mahjong taught from absolute zero, in about two hours, by someone sitting at the table with you. It’s a lot easier than it looks, and the beginning is the hardest part.

Two hours,
start to finish.
Learn the shape of it
We teach the tiles, the card and the flow of a hand from absolute zero, in plain language, at the table, at your pace.
Play a real hand
You’ll leave your first evening having actually played. That’s the whole point.
The honest version
Everyone feels
behind at first.
Everyone else seems to know how to play. You should have read something first. You don’t want to slow the table down. We hear it all the time.
Nobody is behind. Before long you’re reading your card, picking up tiles, and calling for the one you need. You are exactly who we’re here for.
Good to know
