What we’re about
The Melbourne Mahjong Meetup Group is dedicated to those who are in Melbourne and would like to play the ancient game of mahjong and meet other players. If you are interested in playing some Cantonese/Japanese Mahjong on a regular basis, then this group is for you :)
There are no restrictions in this group, anyone interested in playing / learning to play are welcome to join.
We've recently been playing several styles of mahjong, including Cantonese, Japanese, Taiwanese, and World Series of Mahjong rules.

Marché provides food and drink for purchase to consume at the table. Check out their menu here: https://mbgcafe.com.au/menu.pdf
Tables are shuffled at around 7:00 pm and again at 8:30 pm. If you're looking to learn, please aim to arrive at 5:30 pm, otherwise there might not be an open seat - you're more than welcome to stay, watch, and ask lots of questions!
