The Portland MahJong Society is a group devoted to the ancient tile-game of MahJong, originally developed centuries ago in China. We are devoted to not only playing MahJong but, also reaching out to new players and giving them a fun, friendly group of people to learn the game from.

MAHJONG SATURDAY : Backspace @ 1:00pm

This weekly game has been going on since the Society started back in August of 2008. New players often take their first steps into the MahJong world by attending this meetup. We'll go over the basics of the game with any new players and make sure they have an experienced player to sit with them and help them along until they feel comfortable enough to try it alone.

Which version of MahJong we play, really depends on the mix of people that attend. Most of the Society has learned and uses the World Series of MahJong's tournament rules. However, at the request of several members, we are focusing on transitioning from WSoM to Riichi (Japanese MahJong)
