Mah Jong is a charming Chinese game played with engraved tiles. Traditionally, the tiles were made from ivory or bone dove-tailed into bamboo.
The exotic tiles, the oriental associations and the rituals which surround the game lend it a certain mystique. However, although the rules are quite intricate, the rudiments of play are surprisingly easy to master.
Newcomers are welcome and no experience is needed. We show you how to build a wall (how to deal) and how to collect suits and sets (not unlike rummy). We generally find that after the first two hour session your brain is in overload – but don’t worry. Our experience shows that the following week you will be far more comfortable and it is quite likely that you will be winning the odd game by the end of the session.
We play for fun. Come and join us!
