All Levels Welcome
Whether you’re completely new or already play comfortably, this session is designed so everyone gets the right experience at the right table.Beginner Workshop (never played)
Learn how to play Sichuan Mahjong (also known as “Bloody Battle to the End”), a fast-paced and accessible variant that blends strategy, skill, and a bit of luck. This beginner workshop is designed to get you from zero to playing in a single session.You won’t sit through a long lecture. After a short introduction, you’ll start playing right away. A dedicated host will guide you step by step at the table—explaining the tiles, the flow of the game, and the core techniques as you go. You learn by doing, not by memorizing.
By the end of the session, you’ll be able to play a simple version of Sichuan Mahjong independently. Depending on how quickly you pick it up, you may also start understanding how scoring (points) works.
Why Sichuan Mahjong? It’s one of the most popular and beginner-friendly Mahjong styles. The rules are more accessible than many other variants, while still offering enough depth to keep the game interesting as you improve.
Open Play (Basic, Intermediate & Advanced)
Already familiar with Mahjong? You’ll be seated with players at a similar level and can jump straight into gameplay. Questions are always welcome, but the focus is on smooth, uninterrupted play.We support multiple Mahjong styles, including Sichuan, Hong Kong, and Riichi. Tables are organized based on player preferences whenever possible. If enough players wish to play the same style, we’ll group them together. However, this depends on attendance and cannot be guaranteed. If there aren’t enough players for your preferred style, you may be seated at another table, and we’ll provide a brief introduction to help you get started.
