## 📅 EVENT DETAILS

📍 **Where:** Aldgate Tower (just outside Aldgate East Station, Exit 1)
🙋 **Who:** Players who already know how to play with scores (not suitable for beginners)
**Price:** £10 for 2 hours
☕ **Included:** Instructor help, free tea, coffee, and unbeatable vibes

## 🀄 WANT TO PLAY MAHJONG REGULARLY?

Mahjong is still a niche board game in London — and since it needs **4 players**, it can be hard to organise regular games with just your own friends or family.
In many parts of Asia, **Mahjong parlours** bring people together to play. While we’re **not** running a commercial Mahjong club, we *are* here to build a **community**.
Many of our players started as complete beginners in our workshops — and now they’re **hooked**! That’s why we created our **🎟️ Just Play tickets**.

### 🌏 DIFFERENT MAHJONG STYLES WELCOME

### 🇭🇰 Hong Kong Style (Main Style)

Our main style is **Hong Kong Mahjong**, with a **3 fan minimum to win**.If you know how to play other Chinese styles like **Taiwanese**, **Sichuan**, or **British Mahjong**, you’re still welcome! We’ll provide **scoring cards** to help you adapt.
⚠️ However, these tables are **not suitable for beginners**. If you haven’t yet graduated from Level 1 or Level 2 of our workshops, or if you don’t know how to score, please join our learner workshops first to build confidence.

### 🇯🇵 Japanese Riichi (New Community)

Riichi Mahjong is **new to our community**, but we love its fast pace and strategic complexity!If you already know how to play Riichi — \*\*amazing! Please join us.\*\*If you play Chinese Mahjong and want to try Riichi, one of our instructors or friendly regulars might help, but we **can’t guarantee full teaching support yet**. You're welcome to learn by playing alongside others.

### 🇺🇸 American Mahjong (New Community in 2026)

We’re excited to add **American Mahjong** to our offerings. It’s quite different from Chinese Mahjong, so we’ll run newbie workshops and regular Just Play sessions from 2026. **Note**: Just Play bookings require solid prior knowledge of American rules. However, we encourage cross‑style learning, so if you already know one style of Mahjong, learn another with us, so you can play at any table.

## 💷 OUR BEST PRICE PROMISE

We’re doing our best to keep **Just Play tickets affordable at £15** for a 2-hour session — that’s our **best price promise**. 🙌
Unlike clubs that charge entry or venues that require a minimum spend, our ticket price covers only what’s needed: venue, staff, admin cost.
And yes — with a booked ticket, **YOU ARE GUARANTEED A SEAT AT THE TABLE**, and we also provide **free tea, coffee**, and the occasional **festive treat**. ☕🍪
We're not a charity, but we are **deeply committed** to creating a welcoming Mahjong community. 💛 Your support helps us keep the tiles clicking, and we love seeing familiar faces return week after week!

## 📱 JOIN OUR MAHJONG WHATSAPP COMMUNITY

Stay connected with fellow players in our friendly WhatsApp group — a space to ask questions, get updates on upcoming events, and even arrange private games outside of our Saturday sessions. It's the easiest way to stay in the loop and grow your Mahjong circle!
