De qué se trata
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.

The event has limited space, so attendance/RSVPs may be changed around leading up to the event day in order to give both regular players and newcomers a fair chance to play for the night. Be sure to check your RSVPs leading up to the event as you may have been placed on the waitlist.
Upon signup, if you are a new/beginner players, write down what time you intend to arrive. If you are new, please aim to arrive before 6:00 pm to be guaranteed a seat. If you arrive after that time, you may need to sit and watch a game until a space opens up.
Otherwise if you are familiar with the rules and happy to join the regular table shuffled games, please indicate which time slot you would like to register for:
- Group A, Early Birds: 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
- Group B, Night Owls: 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
- Group C, Marathon: 5:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Tables will be shuffled at around 7:00 pm and 8:30 pm. If you would like to be a part of that shuffle, please aim to be at the venue before those times.
We will have a full round/hanchan timer of 75 minutes, allowing all groups to have a good amount of games played.
If you do not show up on time, your spot may be given to someone on the wait list.
If you do not choose a group, you will be defaulted as an all-night player, which might put you on the wait list!
As always, wait listed attendees are welcome to show up on the day and hope for an available spot!
