This course will focus on the basics of playing Mah Jongg, which is an ancient Chinese game played with tiles. We will first familiarize ourselves with the types of tiles and possible hands that could be played with them using the 2024 Mah Jongg card. Games will be played using the National Mah Jongg League rules. The instructor will have cards to use.
