American Mah Jongg: Guided Play Game Night

Do you know the basics of American Mah Jongg and feel ready to play, but want to boost your confidence? Guided Play is your ideal next step! Practice alongside fellow newer players in a supportive, relaxed environment. Barbara, an experienced instructor, will be on hand to answer questions, guide your strategic choices, and help deepen your understanding of the game as you play.

Prerequisite: Appropriate for participants who have previously taken a Mah Jongg class at Access CVU or elsewhere.  Participants should already know how to set up and deal, complete the Charleston, read the National Mah Jongg League (NMJL) card, and follow the basic rules of play, including picking, discarding, and calling tiles. While this is not a beginner or instructional session, the instructor is there to answer questions and help you understand the game as needed while you play. 

Please bring your 2026 NMJL (National Mah Jongg League) card and your reading glasses (if you need them!). If you do not have the 2026 NMJL card, please select the option to purchase one during registration; you can select between a standard or large size card.
