American Mah Jong, Beginning Level*

Mah Jong is a game of calculation, skill, and strategy employing tiles with Chinese Characters. Players seek to acquire specific tiles to form a “mah jong” in a predetermined pattern. In the American version, several exchanges of tiles among players offers everyone a chance to improve the dealt hand before the game begins. Players select a hand to play based on a printed card. Play is facilitated by familiarity with the card and the hands. As the players become proficient, the pace of play increases. The card is revised annually to keep the game challenging. Game sets and cards will be provided for use during the sessions.
