Mahjong Lessons

David teaches beginner Mahjong lessons after hours at the store. Shoot us a text or come chat with one of us if you're interested. Here's David's blurb...

"Classes teach Hong Kong/Cantonese Style Mahjong. I like teaching this variant because...

  • HK Mahjong is well-known, it's been featured in tons of big movies like Crazy Rich Asians and Fat Choi Spirit. 
  • If players learn HK and desire more complexity, they can seamlessly add on the Cantonese Style rules.
  • It's a folk game; the rules evolved organically over time. They weren't invented and standardized by an organization.
  • No annual fees.

It'd be really cool if we could get enough locals playing Cantonese Mahjong to have tournaments and meetups. Baby steps though. 🙂"

To clarify, a session for a group is $40. 

  • If your group has 4 people it's $10/person.
  • If your group has 3 people, well, I guess it's $13.33/person.
  • If your group has 2 people it's $20/person.
