What To Expect
- Meet the TilesGet to know every suit, Dragon, Wind, and Flower through quick, playful games, so kids can name each tile and know where it belongs before they play their first hand.
- Kid-Sized HandsPlay simple hands designed just for younger players, so the game feels fun and doable from the very first round. No rule book required, just plenty of cheering.
- Brain Games in DisguisePractice counting, patterns, strategy, and good sportsmanship with every hand they play. They’ll think they’re just playing a game, and that’s exactly the point.
- Family Game Night ReadyPlay right alongside grownups, kids on the Mini Mahjer card and adults on the NMJL card, so the whole family can share one table and one game night together.

Honest takes, straight from the table.
At first glance Mahjong felt very intimidating because of all the information to grasp, but Beth was so knowledgeable and more than willing to explain things repeatedly.
Beth is informative, patient, and her love of Mahjong shines through her teaching, making learning super fun and easy. Thanks to her I’m now obsessed with Mahjong!
These classes made me feel confident playing the game much faster than I ever expected. Beth's passion for the game is contagious, and she creates such a welcoming, supportive environment.
Beth is an excellent teacher and did a great job explaining things in a way that didn't feel overwhelming and made it so fun. Her handouts were beautiful and I can't wait to play again!
