LEARN TO PLAY MAH JONGG THIS SUMMER
It couldn’t be easier … pick up, swap, and discard tiles until you get a winning hand and call “Mah Jongg.” This class is a beginner Mah Jongg class. You will learn the basics of play for American Mah Jongg according to the NMJL Rules and Guidelines. It’s a small class with individual attention, hands-on activity and real time play. My strategy for learning the game may be unique but successful, possibly because of my previous training as a school teacher. After attending 6 consecutive sessions you will be ready to play. Mah Jongg requires skill, strategy, calculation and a little luck. Each member will be required to purchase a 2026 Mah Jongg card. We will continue to play Mah Jongg for the remainder of the summer every Monday.
Leader: Davya Cohen 520-904-2960 scohen7397@aol.com
Time 10am - noon
Dates: Every Monday from June 15 through July 20
Place: Davya’s home

Davya learned to play Mahj as a child and rediscovered the game again in recent years.
