Play & practice

Open Play & Guided Play

Two different tables, two different comfort levels. Here's how to pick the right one.

Open Play

Friendly social play for those who know how to play American Mahjong.

All tiles, racks, and playing materials are provided—just bring your current NMJL card! This is Open Play, not a lesson, so you should feel comfortable playing independently. All playing levels are welcome, just let Amy know your level when signing up so you are placed at the appropriate table.

Mahjong 102 — Guided Play

Practice with Amy nearby to answer questions as you play.

Ready to turn what you learned in Mahjong 101 into confidence at the table? This guided-play session is designed for newer players who know the basics but would like extra practice choosing hands, navigating the Charleston, making exposures, and developing game strategy—with Amy available throughout play to answer questions and offer guidance.
