This meetup is for "Cantonese or Hong Kong-style" Mahjong gameplay.

BEGINNERS - please be prompt, we will begin the session with a complete introduction to the game.

Agenda:

• New Players: Facilitated instructions will cover key aspects, including determining the dealer, building the wall, identifying tile types, forming melds, understanding gameplay rotation, declaring "Mahjong!" and how to calculate scores.
• Continuing/Experienced Players: —simply form a group and start playing. Collaborate with one another to explore and enjoy the nuances of the game. Guides are available for any questions.
