Oct 11 Saturday Mahjong Workshop for Newbies

*Please note this is NOT a free event. You have to book your ticket on our main meetup page here*

## 🀄 NEW TO MAHJONG? START HERE!

Mahjong is a timeless tile game played across Asia for over 300 years — and now it’s gaining fans all over the world! 🌏
But unlike poker (where you know the cards right away), Mahjong comes with beautiful but mysterious tiles, and a few rules to learn first — that’s where most beginners get stuck.
We’ve heard it all:

> "I tried learning from a friend but still had no clue..." 😩*"My family got frustrated explaining it for the tenth time..."* 🙃

That’s why we created the Dear Asia Mahjong Workshops — so you can finally learn properly and start playing with confidence.

## 💡 WHY LEARN WITH US?

🎓 We’re Professional Teachers – As expert educators, we know how people learn best. Our two-step workshop is thoughtfully designed to make Mahjong simple, structured, and fun—even for complete beginners.
💷 Affordable Group Learning, Guaranteed – Just £36 for a two-hour workshop—the same as our language classes. We’re confident in our method, and we guarantee learning success by the end of the session.
🌏 More Than Just a Game – Mahjong is a living tradition deeply woven into Asian social life. As a language and culture school—now also a Mahjong school—Dear Asia London is passionate about helping you experience these meaningful cultural connections.

## ✅ YOU’LL BE READY TO PLAY – GUARANTEED!

In our Newbie Workshop, you’ll:

• Get hands-on with the tiles 🎴
• Learn winning hands & basic rules 🏆
• Play your first real games! 🎉

By the end, you’ll walk away knowing how to play Mahjong — confident and ready to join future games. 🙌

## 📦 WHAT’S INCLUDED?

✔️ Mahjong Instructor – Friendly expert guidance while you learn
✔️ Mahjong Worksheets – Step-by-step support designed for beginners
✔️ Free Tea & Coffee – Sip and play ☕
✔️ Festive Treats – Enjoy special Asian snacks (when available!) 🍡

## 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 A SOCIAL GAME IN A SOCIAL SPACE

Mahjong isn’t just about strategy — it’s about connection.Come solo or bring friends/family! Our workshops are welcoming, inclusive, and full of good vibes. You might even leave with new game buddies. ✨
🧩 Note: While Mahjong is traditionally played with four players, there may be times when table numbers don’t divide evenly. In those cases, we’ll either combine players across tables to form full games or teach you how to enjoy 2- or 3-player Mahjong variations—so you’ll always get maximum play time and fun.
