Program Description

Event Details

Join Rehka for a five-day intensive introduction to Mah Jongg.  

Learn the basics of game play, allowing you to begin playing either in person or virtually.  The instruction for this class will be virtual, and will require the download of the Real Mah Jongg app, which offers a free 14 day trial without the need for a credit card.  Do not sign up for the app before the class, in order to maximize the free trial period.  

Topics will include an introduction to the tiles, rules, the official American Mah Jongg rule card, and hands.  Participants will both watch the instructor play games online to learn how to play, and play games themselves with guidance.  

Please register for the first day to attend all five sessions.  

It is highly recommended that participants get a copy of the Mah Jongg card, published annually by the National Mah Jongg League, which can be purchased online or at The Big Top.  

Rekha Krishan has been playing the Indian version of Mah Jongg for over 4 decades, and teaching it for 6 years.  Her love for the game encouraged her to learn and consequently teach American Mah Jongg both online and in person.  She has taught approximately 200 people how to play during COVID alone, and has organized multiple Mah Jongg tournaments.
