Intro to Mahjong Game Play
Mastering the Charleston and Game Play
Service Description
You've learned the tiles and how to decipher the National Mah Jongg League playing card, and now it's time to really play. The Intro to Mahjong Game Play lesson is where everything clicks. In this immersive 2.5-hour session, you and your group will move beyond the basics and into the full rhythm of a real game — building tile walls, passing tiles during the Charleston, game play, and yes, finally calling MAHJONG! We'll dig deeper into strategy, talk through the nuances of the NMJL playing card, and build the kind of confidence that comes from actually playing, not just practicing. This lesson is designed to follow the Intro to Mahjong lesson and is the moment most students say "now I get it." By the end, you and your group will be ready to set up your own table, deal your own tiles, and play a complete game together, independently and with confidence. No need to bring anything, just the group and the enthusiasm you've already built. I'll handle the rest. Ready to go from beginner to player? Let's finish what we started. Lesson price is per person. Minimum of 2 people, no max. Assistant instructors will be brought in for larger groups. Booking & Payment Policy For private group lessons, your date is not confirmed until the minimum of 2 participants have registered and paid individually. All payments are non-refundable. Need to reschedule? No problem — just give me at least 48 hours notice and I'll do my best to find a new date that works for your group. Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice are not eligible for rescheduling or credit. Those tiles wait for no one! In the unlikely event that I need to cancel, you'll receive a full reschedule or refund — always. Questions? Reach out at Info@CalCoastMahjong.com
