American Style Mah Jongg
Welcome! Let’s get started.
There are two classes during the week. Currently, both are offered on Monday.
The Renaissance Center, for people over 55 only, classes are Monday at 1:00 to 3:00 pm. This is a series of four, two-hour classes. One month of classes will give you a complete overview of the game and techniques to win.
For evening classes available to everyone, classes are Monday at 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the WeWork located at 111 W. Illinois.
If you aren’t close to downtown, not to worry. Email me and let’s set up private lessons.
In order to play, you’ll need a National Mah Jongg League 2018 card. The NMJL has stopped selling 2018 cards and the 2019 cards will not be available until April. Until then, we will still play with 2018 cards. Here is the link to their web site: https://www.nationalmahjonggleague.org/ . I’ll have cards for purchase at the lessons. If you are interested in buying one from me directly, please contact me ahead of time of a lesson.
You might wonder about my skills and how long I’ve been playing. I first started playing Mah Jongg about 20 years ago, and I’ve been playing actively for five years now - both American Style and Hong Kong style. I was taught American Style by a lovely group of women who sparked my interest. I wanted to play more. This is when I started a beginners' group through Meetup.com. It was a great benefit for the people who lived in the Loop. However, many of the people who started didn’t know how to play. I wanted to spread the fun and experience of playing Mah Jongg to others. Turned out, I wasn’t playing anymore but teaching all the time. Everyone said, “You should teach.” So I did!
Renaissance Center Lessons - $5 a person for each two hour lesson
WeWork Evening Lessons - $15 dollars a person for each two hour lesson
For more information or if you are interested in purchasing a card, please email me though Meetup.
Let’s start racking!
