MAHJ 102: GUIDED PLAY

Description:

Come sharpen your skills and experience the game in a supportive, hands-on environment! 

Perfect for those who have completed MAHJ 101 and are comfortable with tile identification and deciphering the card, this 2-hour guided play session is designed to help beginners build confidence in their gameplay! (we do not play in pairs).  An instructor will be present to provide a quick review and guide the room through the complexities of setup, the deal and the Charleston. Tables will play independently once the 1st discard is thrown. The instructor will float around the room, answering questions that arise and providing additional support as needed.

Session Highlights:

  • Perfect for beginners familiar with basic rules and tile identification
  • Instructor guidance to get games started, with support available throughout
  • Focus is on independent play with opportunities to ask questions as needed
  • A fun, low-pressure environment to practice and reinforce your skills

8+ people. @2 hrs.  

Please bring the current NMJL Card (published each April) if you have one. You can purchase a NMJL Card here: National Mah Jongg League : The Store. 

Note: This session could have up to 20 participants though that is not typically the case. Should you need a lot of hand holding or instructor attention, it may be best to repeat Mahj 101 or to book a Private Group Lesson (see below) .  If you need more practice with The Charleston and Choosing a Hand, you may want to also take a Mahj 103 class.

Open play is for those who are comfortable with independent play and can finish a game in 30 minutes or less. Players should have a good understanding of the game and basic NMJL rules to participate in open play. Any “house rules” will be posted/explained but most games will follow basic NMJL rules.  For this session, we will learn how to incorporate blanks (aka “zombies”)  for a fun twist to the game! Instructor will be on-site to teach you how!
